Leah Takes the Chip Lead

Adam Lamers

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Mike Leah raised to 12,500 from early position, and his opponent in late position pushed all-in for 42,500. The action was back on Leah, and he contemplated calling after figuring out chip stacks. He ended up calling but would need to get a bit lucky, as he was holding up against his opponent's .

The dealer spread the flop, and Leah hit an ace right in the window. His opponent wasn't able to catch up. Leah is now closing in on 400,000 chips.
