Mike Leah Eliminated in 16th Place ($21,790)

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Mike Leah
Mike Leah

Axel Bayout raised to 2,400,000 under the gun with Kartik Ved calling from the next seat. When it got to Mike Leah in the big blind, he jammed for 13,000,000, which only Ved called.

Mike Leah: 66 All in
Kartik Ved: 99

Ved held the higher pair and looked likely to send the last 25k Fantasy player to the rail.

That changed on the 6Q5 flop as Leah spiked a set to take a huge lead.

Ved picked up a gutshot on the 8 turn, and he managed to find it when the 7 landed on the river.

Ved moved up to around 70,000,000 in chips, and Leah was sent packing in 16th place.

Cawlfield Doubles Through Trezzo

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Joseph Trezzo raised the hijack to 2,500,000 with Christopher Cawlfield calling from the small blind and Sheldon Phelps defending his big blind.

When it got to Trezzo on the 9J5 flop, he bet 4,000,000 and Cawlfield check-jammed for 15,000,000. Phelps folded, and Trezzo called.

Christopher Cawlfield: AJ All in
Joseph Trezzo: QJ

Cawlfield had the better kicker with top pair, and nothing changed on the 4 turn or J river, meaning he doubled through Trezzo.

Eugene Pleyo: A5 All in
Axel Bayout: 88

Pleyo couldn't get any traction on the 76Q3K board, sending him to the rail in 17th.

Leah Doubles Again

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Eugene Pleyo moved all in for 14,000,000 from middle position, and Mike Leah did the same for his 6,400,000 from late position. Everyone else got out of the way.

Mike Leah: AQ All in
Eugene Pleyo: 77

The 6K6 flop didn't inspire much confidence in Leah, but he went running Broadway with 10J and stayed alive yet again.

Qing Sun: 88All in
David Prociak: AK

The classic race went to Prociak, who paired his king on the turn in a runout of 352K9.

Leah Holds to Double

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Mike Leah opened to 3,700,000 from early position, leaving a single 100,000 chip behind. Action folded to Sheldon Phelps in the big blind, who shoved to put Leah all in. Leah flicked in his final chip.

Mike Leah: K10 All in
Sheldon Phelps: K3

Leah couldn't have asked for a much better flop than the 10J4 that the dealer fanned out. He held to stay alive on the 78 runout, as Phelps dropped below the ten big blind mark.
