Leonard Bubbles
After 23 hands the bubble has burst. With just 10,000 chips remaining Patrick Leonard was forced all-in from the big blind at the start of the hand. Eddie Blumenthal, Anthony Zinno, and Igor Zektser all called to put Leonard at risk.
The three players checked down a board of J♣7♦8♠7♥J♦ and the cards were revealed.
Patrick Leonard :6♥Q♣2♥K♥
Igor Zektser: 10♦6♣3♣3♠
Anthony Zinno: Ax4xQx9x
Eddie Blumenthal: K♦K♠5♦5♣
Leonard slowly peeled back his first three cards to reveal 6♥Q♣2♥. He was kind enough to leave the unveiling of his final card up to Dario Sammartino. Sammarrtino peeked at the card and shouted "jack!". However, he revealed that Leonards's final card was actually the K♥, meaning Leonard earned the unfortunate title of the bubble boy for Event#10 at the World Series of Poker.
