Gray Starts Well After Dinner

[user67765]

Jason Gray raised it up from the button and Toto Leonidas made the call from the big blind. Gray bet on the flop, turn and river into Leonidas on a board of {4-Clubs}

. Leonidas cut out chips appearing to be about to raise but gave up his hand to give Gray a nice start following the dinner break.

During the hand Greg Jamison was a late arrival to his seat, arriving with a friendly, and rather hopeful "Did I win yet?" which drew a nice chuckle from the large group of fans which have gathered here to watch this final table on the rail.
