Fireworks Fly in Action-Packed Hand

Xuan Liu opens for 1,000 and George Caragiorgas three-bets to 2,500. Mike Leah makes the call, and then Mathieu Valade four-bets to 7,500. Liu flats, as does Caragiorgas, and Leah calls getting a good price on his money.

All four players proceed to check the  flop, and then action checks to Leah on the  turn. He bets 10,000, Valade calls, and both Liu and Caragiorgas fold what they would later claim were aces and queens respectively.

When the  completes the board on the river, Leah moves all in and Valade snap-calls off for 20,000 or so.

Valade: 
Leah: 

It was a cooler flop as Leah’s full house proved second best to Valade’s quads.

Mathieu Valade – 87,000 (212.5 bbs)
Mike Leah – 7,500 (18.75 bbs)
