Leah on Life Support

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A player opened opened for 3,800 from the hi-jack position and Michael Leah to his immediate left raised to 10,500. His opponent decided to flat.

The flop came {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Leah's opponent donked for 15,000 even. Leah tanked for a while, but then announced that he was all-in for about 56,000. His opponent snap called, having just a bit less than Leah's stack.

Leah: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Opponent: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Both players were near even-money after the flop, but the {7-Clubs} turn put Leah's opponent in the lead with a flush.

Leah still had a draw to the nut flush, but the river blanked a {9-Spades}, crippling him and leaving him with just 3,000 behind.
