Leah Doubles and Then Some

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The player in the hijack opened to the hand with a raise to 4,000 before the player to his left moved all in for 10,000. Michael Leah, in the small blind, took a minute to think before he moved in his stack of 32,600. The initial player called and Leah, who showed {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} asked for two Ace-King's, "one time". He did get one from the initial all in player but was crushed by the {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} of the big stack.

The flop gave him the two-outter he needed though, when it came {6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts}. The short stack was drawing dead to win the pot while the big stack had just the two remaining Jack's. Both players had runner-runner straight outs to split it three ways. The turn {8-Clubs} and river {2-Spades} both bricked and Leah is now up to 78,000.
