David Leighton Eliminated in 26th Place ($12,242)
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
David Leighton's tournament has ended after a cruel board run out a few moments ago.
Leighton started the ball rolling with a raise to 22,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Jonathan Gray in the cutoff and he announced "68,000" before raising to 68,000. The button and blinds folded, Leighton moved all-in and Gray quickly called.
Leighton:
Gray:
Leighton was a substantial favorite to double and his chances of doing so increased on the flop. The turn gave some outs to a straight for Gray, but it was a real outside chance.
The river was the straight-completing and the entire table groaned. Gray covered Leighton and Leighton busted in 25th place.
