Lettau Busts With Kings to Kings
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

to hit the flush," Lettau added. A quick look at his former table confirmed who had done the damage as Szymon Wysocki was now sitting on a stack of nearly half a million.
"I am actually disgusted, Andre and I had a nice chat," Wysocki pointed out.
That won't change much about the unfortunate outcome of the clash as Lettau is out before the money while Wysocki has a decent shot at a deep run.
