With roughly 25,000 in the pot and the board reading {5-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{2-Hearts} {j-Hearts} {a-Diamonds} Mike Leah was in the tank after his opponent put him all in on the river for an effective stack of 18,300. After about five minutes Leah made his decision and called.

His opponent tabled {4-Hearts}{4-Spades} for a pair of fours and Leah showed {a-Spades}{3-Hearts} for top pair with no kicker! Leah was visibly relieved that his read was right and wasn't even sure how long he had tanked for.
