David Leighton's tournament has ended after a cruel board run out a few moments ago.
Leighton started the ball rolling with a raise to 22,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Jonathan Gray in the cutoff and he announced "68,000" before raising to 68,000. The button and blinds folded, Leighton moved all-in and Gray quickly called.
