Lipp Correctly Hero-Calls, Leonard Finds an Unlikely Triple-Up
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
The action was caught as Patrick Leonard, in the big blind, was already all in for his short stack, from the big blind. With action remaining on the side, two players were left to compete on the 5♥3♠5♣ flop.
Matthias Lipp, who was under the gun, bet out 40,000. Andras Nemeth, on the button, called.
The 6♦ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Lipp sized up to 75,000.
The 7♠ river slowed down Lipp with a check. Nemeth bet out 200,000. Lipp went deep into the tank, thinking for some time before settling on a call.
Patrick Leonard: A♠8♥ 
Matthias Lipp: A♣2♥
Andras Nemeth: K♦J♦
Lipp's ace-high hero call was good for the side pot. Meanwhile, to everyone else's surprise, Leonard stayed best to find a small triple up.
