Cheng Shove Sees Leah Leaking Chips

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Leo Yan Ho Cheng (pictured) and Mike Leah got involved in a big pot with massive repercussions for one of the two popular players.

We joined the action with 9,625 chips in the middle and just Cheng and Leah awaiting the flop of {6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{A-Spades}. Cheng was checked to by Leah, with the Canadian out of position, both in middle position. Cheng made it 2,000 and was called. The turn of {Q-Spades} Cheng made it 3,500 and again Leah called.

The river of {5-Hearts} saw Cheng checked to by Leah for a third time and he moved all-in for 6,875. Leah called pretty quickly and mucked to Cheng's winning hand of {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. When asked what he was holding, Leah told the table:

"Ace with a nut flush draw." Leah said, and he drops to 9,400 chips. Cheng is right back into contention after an early dip himself, as he now goes back over starting stack with 33,000.
