Jozoff Gets Leonard to Fold
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Just before the blinds had gone up, Patrick Leonard had squeezed to 9,700 and was then called by Michael Jozoff. They headed to the 
flop on which Leonard grabbed a handful of T-1,000 chips and splashed in a bet worth 10,000. Jozoff on the button instantly raised to 45,000 and that put Leonard to the test.
Table chatter between the duo went back and forth and Leonard then flashed his cards to the dealer and the player in the one seat. "Would you call there?" He received no reply but Leonard insisted to ask for advice to which the other player seemingly joked to call the clock.
Leonard folded and was shown the
