Gift for Leah

Mike Leah
Mike Leah

From under the gun, a player opened with a raise to 3,300. Action folded over to Mike Leah in the cutoff seat, and he reraised to 8,200. After the next few players folded, the original raiser made the call.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, and Leah's opponent open-shipped for roughly 27,000 in chips. Leah made a quick call holding the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} for top pair, top kicker. His opponent held the {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

The turn was the {8-Spades}, and the river was the {7-Diamonds}. Both kept Leah in front to win him the hand. Leah eliminated the player, scooped the pot and moved to over 200,000 in chips.

Misstep For Super Tuan

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Super Tuan!
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Super Tuan!

Kenny "Super Tuan" Nguyen had an opponent all in and at risk moments ago on a flop of {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{q-Hearts}. Nguyen's {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} was trailing his opponent's {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} however, and the turn and river came {3-Diamonds}, {k-Clubs} respectively.

Nguyen's still alive, but his stack plummeted to around 40,000 chips.

Decowski Down

Richard Decowski
Richard Decowski

We recently came across Richard Decowski's table, and unfortunately Richard Decowski was gone.

We asked the players in the table what happened to the World War II veteran, and they told us that he moved all in with {a-}{10-} and was called by Steve Terrile's {k-}{k-}.

"He said that he was tired," one of the players told us.

Decowski didn't spike an ace, and was eliminated.
