Anton Astapau opened the action with a raise to 1,600 and Mike Leah called, as did Federico Butteroni on the button. The player in the big blind came along and they went four ways to a flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. The big blind and Astapau checked, while Leah bet 3,200. Butteroni raised to 14,000 with 400 behind and that forced folds from the big blind and Astapau.

Leah moved all in and Butteroni called it off.

Federico Butteroni: {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Mike Leah: {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The {4-Diamonds} turn and {8-Diamonds} river failed to improve Leah and he dropped to just over starting stack. "Okay guys, let's gamble, I can't leave that that amount of chips," Leah joked and his table mates were well aware that Leah has a final table coming up with eight players remaining in Event #22: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship as of 2 p.m. local time.

After the hand was over, Butteroni jokingly ran a victory lap around the table and that caused smiles all around, even with Leah.
