John Avelino

Level 10 : 0/0, 1,500 ante

6♦7♦2♠4♣Q♠

With the board on the felt, Edward Leonard bet 12,000 and Michael Clifford went all in. Leonard called for the small difference.

Edward Leonard: A♥J♣7♥5♣ All in
Michael Clifford: J♦10♦8♣8♦

Clifford scooped the pot this hand with a full house, eights full of sixes on the bottom board and a lonely pair of jacks was enough to win the top board. As a testament to the volatility of this game, Clifford was eliminated the very next hand after winning this pot where the action was unknown.
