for a full house while Gierse was left with 
for just ace high. Leonard scored himself a big double up and clawed his way back into a healthy chip lead.

board, with roughly 50,000 chips already in the pot.
After thinking for a while, he asked for Destefano to show the bluff after mucking his cards. Destefano did not oblige.
