Big Decision for Leonard

Patrick Leonard opened to 400,000 from the hijack and Junjie Tang defended from the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 2♠10♦J♣ and Leonard continued for 375,000. Tang check-called and both players checked the 9♣ turn.

Tang checked the 5♠ river as well. Leonard fired 1,450,000, but Tang check-raised to 3,500,000.

Leonard went deep into the tank, using all four of his remaining time-bank extensions before eventually making the call.

Tang turned over K♥9♦ for a pair, but Leonard tabled K♠J♥ for the best hand. Leonard appeared visibly relieved as he won the pot.
