Leng Blasts on Flop

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

PLO

Samuel Welbourne raised to 45,000 in the hijack, earning calls from cutoff Ryan Leng and button Dan Matsuzuki.

The {3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop saw Welbourne and Leng check to Matsuzuki who tossed in 80,000. Welbourne mucked his hand but Leng announced he was raising pot for 399,000. Matsuzuki had roughly 420,000 total so his decision was virtually for all his money and he quickly laid his hand down.
