Legkyi Chipping Up

Tyler Foran

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Three players saw the J♥8♠6♠3♣ turn, creating a pot of 9,300. Lucas Silva checked before Volodymyr Legkyi put in a bet of 4,000. Christophe Larquemin went into the tank for about 45 seconds and made the call, while Silva mucked his hand.

The J♣ completed the board on the river, and Legkyi dropped two chips across the line for a bet of 2,000. Larquemin called much quicker this time to see the 9♦9♥ of Legkyi. Larquemin flashed the 4♣4♥ before the dealer shipped the pot the other way.

Stefan Peukert raised to 700 from under the gun and received one caller before Carlo De Oliveira Finger, in the small blind, three-bet to 3,700. Only Peukert called.

The flop came J♣6♣10♠ and Finger led out for another 3,700. Peukert then moved all in and Finger called for his last 5,000.

Carlo De Oliveira Finger: 10♥10♦
Stefan Peukert: A♣Q♣

Finger had flopped a set but needed to dodge Peukert's straight and flush draws. The 8♠ turn was safe, but the K♣ on the river gave Peukert the nut flush and sent Finger to the rail.
