Amin Cracks Leonard's Aces For Three-Quarters
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Rishi Amin had been sitting near the top of the chip counts for most of the day but just had his last 70,000 at risk from the button against Patrick Leonard in the small blind on a flop of 6♣7♠Q♦.
Rishi Amin: A♣9♥8♣6♠2♠ 
Patrick Leonard: A♠A♥J♣J♥2♦
Leonard was ahead with his aces, while Amin had a straight draw. The 8♠ turn improved Amin to two pair, while the 8♥ river gave him a full house. Both players had the same low and Amin took three-quarters of the pot to survive.
