Leah Flying Early

Mike Leah has gotten himself off to a flying start here in Hammond, Indiana as he's already up to 70,000 in chips. That's three and a half times the starting stack and quite the impressive beginning to his tournament.

The Canadian professional is currently tied for second on the Hammond tournament leader board with 57.5 points. He shares that spot with Gary Lindesmith, while Ari Engel holds the lead with 65 points thanks to winning an event last night. Leah has cashed twice here in Hammond this trip, and both times made the final table. He took third in the $365 Pot-Limit Omaha — Rebuy event for $16,923 and then fourth in the $365 No-Limit Hold'em event for $14,837.
