Gierse Tops Leonard in Rollercoaster Match

Marius Gierse
Marius Gierse

Marius Gierse had one of the largest leads in the early going vs Patrick Leonard but he saw it disappear as the match dragged on. Leonard, in fact, took a sizeable lead of his own after a key double-up just a couple of levels ago.

However, Gierse fought back and had Leonard on the ropes once again. Leonard pushed all in for his last 31,500 chips and was called by Gierse with a dominating hand.

Patrick Leonard: {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Marius Gierse: {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The board ran out {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs}{j-Clubs} which meant Gierse's king-six high would play and Leonard was eliminated.
