Mike “goleafsgoeh” Leah (pictured right) had been sitting on a respectable 150K for nearly two levels when a hand midway through Level 13 boosted his stack back above average.
Bernard Lee raised to 18K from the cutoff and Leah reraised to 40K total on the button. Lee called and the pair saw a flop of A

2. Bernard bet out 48K and Leah counted down his chips before calling, leaving approximately 120K behind. Before the dealer burned and turned, Lee asked for a count of Mike’s chips. After it was verified that he had 120K left, the dealer peeled off the turn card, which was the K. Lee bet again, this time firing 48K. Leah thought for maybe a minute before moving all-in for 72K more. Bernard appeared visibly frustrated, stood up, and began to talk himself through the hand.
Lee asked, “how do you bluff in this spot?”, but Leah said nothing and remained motionless. Lee thought for nearly five minutes before folding. Now Leah is up to 340K.
There are now 36 players remaining, which means we still have nine more to go before play concludes for Day 2.
