The 
turn and 
river failed to improve Leah and he dropped to just over starting stack. "Okay guys, let's gamble, I can't leave that that amount of chips," Leah joked and his table mates were well aware that Leah has a final table coming up with eight players remaining in Event #22: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship as of 2 p.m. local time.
After the hand was over, Butteroni jokingly ran a victory lap around the table and that caused smiles all around, even with Leah.
