Brandon Leeds Eliminated

A short-stacked Brandon Leeds got the last of his chips in the middle on fourth street against Chris Viox. The players showed:

Viox: ( {8-?}

{8-?}

) (

{7-?}

)

{A-?}

{2-?}

Leeds: (

{3-?}

) (

{4-?}

)

{A-?}

{6-?}

By the river, Viox had improved to a {6-?}

{6-?}

{5-?}

{4-?}

{2-?}

{A-?}

. Leeds peeked at his river card, but couldn't beat it. Leeds ended up with a {8-?}

{8-?}

{6-?}

{4-?}

{3-?}

{A-?}

.

Brandon Leeds got a nice ovation from the nearby gallery as well as the remaining players. Though clearly disappointed, he might feel better after collecting the $33,081 he has coming his way for his excellent finish in this event.
