Leonard Knocked Out by Mao

Nick Vazquez

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Renji Mao raised to 22,000 under the gun. That was met by a three-bet from Patrick Leonard next to act. Action folded around to Mao, who went all in, and Leonard called.

Patrick Leonard: A♠Q♠ All in
Renji Mao: Q♦Q♣

The flop came 10♣9♦8♣ and Leonard threw his cards towards the center of the table, trying to will a chop into existence. Alas, the 7♥ and 2♦ came on the turn and river, so it wasn't to be for Leonard and he was eliminated with his 12th cash of the WSOP.
