Man from Down Under Goes Under

Australian online pro Stephen Leonard is bust. He was all in on the river of a {6-?} {A-?} {3-?} {2-?} {Q-?} board and his opponent turned over {4-?} {5-?} for the nuts; Leonard mucked. The dealer tried to make him show his hand on the grounds that he was all in and all-in players have to show their cards, but Leonard threw his hand into the muck and a discussion began among the other players at the table over whether he should have had to show while Leonard was waiting for the floorman with his payout slip. Either way, he didn't and he's out.
