Leffingwell Eliminates Tran to Take Chip Lead and Pulls $5,000 Bounty
Level 21
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Will Leffingwell opened to 10,000 from the hijack and was called by Lam Tran on the button and David Shaw in the big blind.
The flop came out 3♥J♥Q♦ and action checked to Tran who bet 160,000, which produced a fold from Shaw. Leffingwell then check-raised to 360,000 and Tran called to see the 4♠ on the turn.
Leffingwell fired for 450,000 and after some thought, Tran moved all in for around 1,100,000, which Leffingwell snap-called to put him at risk.
Lam Tran: A♥Q♠
Will Leffingwell: A♥Q♠
Only an ace could save Tran, but the river was the 10♥ and he headed to the payout desk while Leffingwell Scooped the huge pot to take the chip lead. He then walked up and drew a $5,000 bounty, no big deal.
