Leonard Loses Two Pots

Level 1

Limit Hold’em

Patrick Leonard check-called a bet by Esther Taylor on the A82 flop and did so again on the 5 turn. The 10 on the river brought the third check in a row by Leonard and Taylor's bet took it down uncontested.

No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw

The game then chanced and Leonard received a walk, exposing the AA.

One hand later, Naoya Kihara raised to 4,500 and Leonard called in the small blind. Both discarded one and Leonard checked, Kihara bet 7,000 and won the pot uncontested.
