Mike Lee Came Within a Whisker of Winning Two WSOP Gold Bracelets in a Single Evening
Mike Leah came one step away from a historic achievement — winning two WSOP gold bracelets in a single evening. First, the 46-year-old player took down his third career bracelet and $47,000 in prize money in the $600 Ultra Stack tournament. Just two hours later, Mike was one card away from a fourth trophy in the $400 PLOSSUS event.
The key hand of the evening happened in the top 5. On the flop, Leah pushed all his chips into the middle against chip leader Alex Di Felice. At stake was a giant pot of 29 million chips — nearly 70% of all the chips in play.
Mike Leah: Q♣️10♦️5♣️3♦️
Alex Di Felice: A♦️A♣️9♠️8♣️
Flop: 10♠️8♥️3♣️
The turn brought the 6♣️, and the river completed with the A♥️. Di Felice hit a set of aces, took the huge stack, and left Mike in 5th place with a payout of $16,000.
