Leffingwell is well in the lead with his aces, but the turn Spade 8 gives him a sweat as both his opponents pick up a straight draw. Luckily for him, the river was the brick Spade 6 and he was awarded the pot. 

However, he then gets involved in two hands with Sridhar Sangannagari…

On the first one he loses around 150,000 at showdown and then he gets it all in with Heart 8Diamond 8 on a Heart 2Spade 7Spade 5 flop but runs into the Heart JSpade J of Sangannagari. The Diamond J on the turn and the Heart A river sealed Leffingwell’s fate and he was sent to the rail.
