Ryan Tepen limped from middle position and Mike Leah, who was to his direct left, raised to 700. The player in the big blind called, as did Tepen, and three players saw a flop of 2d7cKh.

Two checks saw Leah continue for 1,100, the big blind folded, and Tepen called to see the 8d turn. Tepen checked, Leah bet 2,500, and Tepen check-raised to 5,500. Leah responded by moving all in for 14,300 and Tepen snap-called.

Tepen: 7h7d
Leah: AhAc

Tepen flopped a set to pull ahead of Leah’s aces, and the Qc river allowed him to dispatch a tough opponent.

Ryan Tepen – 50,000
Mike Leah – Eliminated
