Steve Leonard Crippled, Then Eliminated

Steve Leonard eliminated.
Steve Leonard eliminated.
Steve Leonard tried to make a move up the counts with {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}, calling the all-in raise of a player behind him. Unfortunately for Leonard, that player turned over {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}. As has happened several other times today, kings held up against Big Slick. An ace was nowhere to be found on a board of {8-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {J-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {2-Spades}.

The next hand, Leonard called all in from the big blind after action folded to the small blind, who raised. The small blind didn't have much of a hand -- just {4-Hearts} {9-Spades} against Leonard's {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}. Leonard was in prime position to double after the first four cards came {A-Spades} {2-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}, but an unfortunate {4-Clubs} spiked on the river to send Leonard crashing out of the tournament.
