Nemeth vs. Leonard

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The board fell {6-Spades}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, and with close to 120,000 in the middle, Andras Nemeth bet 100,000 from the button.

Patrick Leonard was the player with the decision to make, sat in the big blind with a 380,000 stack.

Leonard thought for a minute before opting to pass and gifted the pot to Nemeth.

Nemeth and Leonard are no strangers to battling on the poker streets, but more often than not, compete against one another in the online high stakes MTTs rather than the live felt.

"Flush Beats Straight"

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The flop was down {8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}, and Patrick Leonard checked from the big blind.

Andras Nemeth bet 22,000 into a 75,000 pot, and Leonard called.

The {9-Spades} hit the turn and both players checked. Leonard checked again after seeing the {7-Spades} hit the river, and Nemeth checked behind to a showdown.

"Straight," said Nemeth and showed {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

"It's no good," replied and showed {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for the flush.

Leonard was all set to receive the pot, but the chips were accidentally pushed in Nemeth's direction.

"Whoa, flush beats a straight" joked Leonard and was awarded the pot at the second attempt.
