Leffingwell Eliminates Tran to Take Chip Lead and Pulls $5,000 Bounty
Level 21
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Will Leffingwell opened to 10,000 from the hijack and was called by Lam Tran on the button and David Shaw in the big blind.
The flop came out 3?J?Q? and action checked to Tran who bet 160,000, which produced a fold from Shaw. Leffingwell then check-raised to 360,000 and Tran called to see the 4? on the turn.
Leffingwell fired for 450,000 and after some thought, Tran moved all in for around 1,100,000, which Leffingwell snap-called to put him at risk.
Lam Tran: A?Q?
Will Leffingwell: A?Q?
Only an ace could save Tran, but the river was the 10? and he headed to the payout desk while Leffingwell Scooped the huge pot to take the chip lead. He then walked up and drew a $5,000 bounty, no big deal.
