Mike Leah

Mike Leah and Brian Hastings got into a preflop battle that saw the pair commit their stacks before a community card hit the felt. Both had lost a small portion of their 100,000 starting chips and it was unclear who was the at-risk player.

Hastings: AcAd
Leah: KsKh

The dealer burned and turned a Qh8c8d flop and Leah’s odds to win got a bit slimmer. The turn Kd changed that, though, as he spiked a boat to take a stranglehold against Hastings’ aces-up. The river completed the action with the 7d and the dealer counted down Leah’s holdings.

It was revealed Leah claimed 93,800 chips, just more than Hastings. With that, Hastings hit the felt while Leah scooped a big pot early.

Mike Leah – 197,500
Brian Hastings – Eliminated
