Level 35: Blinds 150k/250k/50k ante

Once Colman took the commanding lead, it was just a few more hands before more fireworks. They were coming up on the next level jump and a 30-minute dinner break when Leah was at risk again.

Mike Leah opened to 600,000 from the button and Dan Colman three-bet to 1,500,000. Leah checked his cards before moving all-in for 11,650,000 total. Colman snap called with AhKd but Leah had two live cards QcJc.

Colman stood up for the runout while Leah leaned back in his seat, confident of a double.

The dealer was unkind to Leah as it ran out 4h3h2cTdKc to push all the chips towards Colman.

Leah was a popular favorite to win the Championship but it was Dan Colman continuing his fantastic 2014. Leah’s runner-up finish will pay him $1,047,638 while Colman picks up the top prize of $1,446,710 and the Championship.
