When we reached the table, Mike Leah and his opponent Keith Morgan both had 16,000 sitting in front of them. Morgan was in position, and in the tank, so by the looks of things, Leah had check-raised all in.
Leah confirmed our suspicions.
"I'm all in, by the way," Leah told our reporter.
"Sorry guys," Morgan apologized to the table.
Morgan tanked for a little longer, then folded his hand.
"Pick one," Leah offered, separating his two cards.
Morgan declined, so Leah tossed both of them into the muck.
