Asher's Dream Run Ends in a Flip With Leonard
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Kenneth Asher raised to 240,000 in the hijack, Patrick Leonard moved all in from the small blind, and Asher called for 3,000,000.
Kenneth Asher: 8♣8♥
Patrick Leonard: A♣9♣
"Whatever happens, it's been fun," Asher said heading to the flop, which came 10♦9♥5♦ to give Leonard the lead. The rest of the board ran out 5♠K♦, and Asher was sent to the rail.
"Let me take a picture in case I never come back," Asher said.
"You had a very good run," Zhao Liu told him.
"I can't complain. I won quite a few of those. Now I can go golfing," Asher added as he went around the table to shake everyone's hand. Leonard then came over and gave Asher a big hug as he offered a few words of condolence.
