Lee Davy shares his thoughts on the controversy surrounding a hand played between Patrick Leonard and Luigi Andrea Shehadeh during the PokerStars Championship Barcelona.

What do you think of Patrick Leonard?

When I heard on the poker grapevine that he was angle shooting during his deep run in the PokerStars Championship Barcelona Main Event, my gut reaction was that people were wrong.

If you place Leonard in a fMRI machine and look closely, you will see his cerebral blood flow hurrying poker chips around his brain. Poker is his life, and unlike most of his peers, Leonard is always prepared to open his heart and talk honestly about the way the game makes him feel.
