Hale Pats to a Win Against James; Leonard Swears Off Bluffing

Level 4 : Limits 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Patrick Leonard was still discussing his controversial bustout from the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em event yesterday. "My girlfriend texted me and asked, how was your day. I'm like, don't even ask," Leonard joked with his tablemates.

"Stop bluffing people," Jordan Siegel added.

"I'm never bluffing again," Leonard said.

Meanwhile, Brant Hale had raised under the gun and Alex James called in the small blind.

James drew three and Hale one. Hale then bet, and James called.

Hale stood pat on the second draw and James took two. Hale bet again, and James called.

James took one more and Hale patted. Both players checked. "Deuces," James announced, while Hale had 8x7x6x3x2x to win the pot.
