  • Justin Leeson was just eliminated out of Event 2, in what turned out to be a very interesting hand. After Benjamin Porter had opened the pot from middle position and gotten called by Michael Hunter from the small blind, Justin Leeson pushed his remaining 136K into the middle. Benjamin called the difference, but before Michael had acted, Ben tabled his Queen of Spades 10 of Spades hand. Michael went ahead and completed the bet as well.

    They both checked the flop ( Queen of Hearts 4 of Spades 3 of Clubs ) and turn ( King of Diamonds ), but when the King of Clubs hit the river, Michael put out a bet of 100K, saying ‘this game is easy when you know what your opponent has’. Benjamin looked disgusted, but made the fold anyway, and Michael tabled Ace of Spades Queen of Clubs, which was good enough to eliminate Justin.
