Prociak Leave Leknes On Fumes

Level 32 : Limits 150,000/300,000, 0 ante

David Prociak raised on the button and Tobias Leknes three-bet in the big blind. Prociak responded by four-betting which Leknes called.

Both players stood pat on the first draw, and Leknes check-called a bet from Prociak. The same action repeated on the following drawing and betting street.

On the last draw, both players stood pat and checked with Leknes tabling Q?10?4?3? for a queen-ten, but it was Prociak holding Q?9?6?2? for queen-nine which was good for Prociak to extend his chip lead and leave Leknes short.
