| Chris Leong (New York, NY) |
Chris Leong isn't letting that happen to him today though, recently winning a "smaller" flip in a blind versus blind encounter that has moved him up the Event 5 leaderboard as he looks like one of the bigger stacks heading into the dinner break.
The action was picked up with two players limping in middle position and action would then fold to an unknown player in the small blind who would then move all-in for 30,000.
Leong would be in the big blind and would just call, potentially hoping to the players who had limped.
They'd fold and the flip would be on, as the unknown player held [3d][3s] and Leong held [Ad][Kd].
It didn't look good for Leong, as the board ran out [10c][6d][7h][9h] and the Foxwoods Champion would be looking for a chop on the river to save himself from a decent loss of chips.
He'd be doing more than chopping the pot though, as the [Ah] spiked on the river to award him the pot in it's entirety, moving up and over the 150,000 chip mark.
Leong would apologize for his river bink, but after the river card that eliminated him from Event 1 earlier this series, Leong is owed a few rivers that fall in his favor.
Leong was among the list of players mentioned earlier who are looking to make their second Card Player Poker Tour score here in Event 5, but that list is now down to just he and Nick Palma and with both playing above average stacks and playing well, we wouldn't be surprised to see both of them make another score here today.
Players are ten minutes from the end of Level 13 and a 45 minute dinner break during which we will post our first list of chip counts.
