Hand #111: Leron Washington Wins the WPT Celebrity Invitational ($100,000)

The small blind is 100,000, and Urban only has 150,000 after he antes, so of course he blindly moves all in. Washington blindly calls with [3s2c], and Urban shows [9s6c]. Urban needs to win this pot to stay alive. 

The flop comes [7c5s3c], and Washington pairs his three to take the lead. But Urban picks up a gutshot straight draw to go with his two overcards. 

The turn card is the [Qc], and Urban picks up a club flush draw as well. He needs a nine, an eight, a six, or any club to survive. 

The river card is the [7s], and Leron Washington wins the pot — and the tournament — with two pair, sevens and threes.

Sean Urban finishes as the runner-up, earning $50,000.

Leron Washington, who qualified for this tournament on ClubWPT.com, wins the WPT Celebrity Invitational, earning $100,000, a watch, a WPT bracelet, and a Commerce trophy. As part of that prize, he has entry into the $25,000 WPT World Championship at Bellagio in April.
