Leon Gets His Second KO of the Day
There was about 6,500 in the middle on a board of 
and the small blind put out a bet of 2,000 into his opponent, David Leon, who was in middle position. Leon made the call and the river came 
. The small blind bet another 6,000 and Leon put him all in for 15,300 effective. The player thought for a few moments and called.
Leon tabled 
for the second-nut trips and his opponent sent his cards to the muck without being tabled, getting up from the table afterwards as the pot was sent Leon's way. According to the table, this was Leon's second knockout of the evening.
Allegedly, there is a player named Matt whose last name is unknown and Leon told him at the start of the tournament that he was going to raise his big blind every time tonight. One such occasion resulted in Matt's being felted at the expense of Leon, who now sits with over two starting stacks in the first hour of play in the evening.
