Leonard Chops for Minor Profit
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Three ways to the J♦8♣5♠ flop, John Holley checked out of the small blind and Patrick Leonard got his last 45,000 in from the big blind. Ben Yu called in the hijack and Holley then check-raised the pot to 420,000.
Dylan Weisman walked over to sweat the showdown with Leonard while Yu was in the tank, which was remarked upon by Holley. Eventually, Yu folded and the cards were flipped over.
Patrick Leonard: A♣Q♦6♠3♠
John Holley: K♣Q♦9♦6♦
"Oh, I have nothing, I was just making a play ... it seemed like a good spot," Holley said when the cards had been exposed.
The board completed with the 9♠ turn and 3♥ river as Holley won the high pot with a pair of nines and Leonard took the low.
