Mike Leah has been known to multi-table events and has even bagged twice in the same day in other events this series already.
Today, he is deep in the $5,000 6-max event and has been running up a stack in this event on the dinner break. He currently sits on 30,000, and given that the bubble is on the horizon, it's likely he will cash at the very least, if not find a way to bag yet another tournament.
Spent my day 2 dinner break of 5k 6max running my stack up to 30k in the 1k event @WSOP - should have more than enough to blind into the $##
