Jean-Philippe Leandri

In a three-way limped pot, we saw a flop of {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

. Jean-Philippe Leandri bet 90,000, Jeff Kimber folded, and J.C. Tran raised pot. Leandri made the all in call and the hands were opened.

Leandri: {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

Tran:

{Q-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

Leandri was ahead with two pair, but Tran had outs with over cards and the club flush draw. The {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

on the turn brought the possibility of a chop, but Tran took the hand when the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

spiked on the river.

Tran now has a 2-1 chip lead going into heads-up play while Leandri leaves in third place with nearly $96,000.
