Leiva is Here to Stay
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Troy Donaldson started it with a raise to 55,000 chips in the hijack. Stefan Clemens added to it with a three-bat to 135,000.
Carlos Leiva jumped on top of that with a raise to 255,000. Donaldson pondered for a bit before bailing, but Clemens made the call.
The flop came A♥J♣J♠. Clemens checked-called Leiva's 130,000-chip bet. The turn Q♠ brought checks from each.
Clemens checked the river 4♥, but called Leiva's bet of 300,000, then turned over K♠K♣.
Leiva tabled Q♥Q♣ for a full house and the big win.
From trying to walk out earlier in the level, when he thought he lost a hand, to more than two million chips? Leiva won't be leaving anytime soon.
