Richard Leger (Lighthouse Point, FL) adds to his already impressive tournament resume, which boasts over $500,000 in career tournament earnings.

Richard Leger (Lighthouse Point, FL) was hampered by a short stack for most of these later stages of Event #14, and open shoved moments ago at Table 1 (for just over 15 big blinds).  Action folded around to Qasim Jamhour, who made the call, putting Richard at risk:

Leger: A♦ J♥
Jamhour: Q♠ Q♣

Runout: J♦ 8♠ 8♣ K♠ 5♦

Leger found a little help on the flop, but was unable to continue the comeback on the turn or river, making him the second player eliminated on this Day 3.

Qasem Jamhour - 1,600,000 (80bb)
