Leonard Loses Two Pots

Level 1

Limit Hold’em

Patrick Leonard check-called a bet by Esther Taylor on the A♠8♦2♠ 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 A♦A♣.

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.
