Tim Leonard Nails One On The River

Eastern Poker Tour’s $50,000 Season Finals – Day 2 (Championship)

Blinds – 8000/16000/16000

Tim raises in late position to 50,000. Player next to him raises all-in to 75,000. Basil Congro then re-raises on the button and Tim calls Basil putting him all-in.

Ok….Hang on you to hat…

Basil — 8♠ 8♦

Player A — 9♦ 9♣

Tim —  A♠ K♥

Basil was behind pre flop but that all changed when the eight hits the flop with 2 spades. The turn is the 6♠. The river is the 10♠ to give Tim a better flush than Basil’s. A roar comes from Tim and disbelief from Basil.

Tim now has over 600,000 and Basil is down to 180,000
