Walker Sends Leonardi Out the Door

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We saw Carol Leonardi gathering her things and then walk out of the tournament area. A quick check with Nicholas Walker confirmed that she had indeed been eliminated from the tournament.

According to him, several players each put in 800 preflop and saw a flop of {a-}{10-}{6-}. One player led out for 3,500, Leonardi called, and then Walker bumped it to 8,000. Both his opponents called, a {10-} turned, and two checks saw Walker fire 10,000. His first opponent folded, and then Leonardi called off her last 6,100 holding {a-}{q-}. Unfortunately for her, Walker rolled over {a-}{10-} for a full house.

Leonardi needed the case ace to chop, but it wasn't in the cards as a {9-} blanked on the river.
