Legrusley Takes a Massive Pot From Lakhdari... Who Scores an Elimination
Level 19
: Blinds 3,000/7,000, 7,000 ante
Benjamin Legrusley was seen dragging a massive 900,000-chip pot his way while Omar Lakhdari was left with most of his stack gone. According to Legrusley, Lakhdari opened from under the gun with J♦8♣ and he defended from the big blind.
Lakhdari then fired three barrels on Q♠J♣2♠3♦4♦ and moved all-in on the river. Legrusley called every single bet with Q♣10♠ and now holds the chiplead.
In his strategy to build a big stack or go home, Lakhdari was raising for most of his stack in the next hands until Mapko Petrovic called with roughly 180,000, slightly less than Lakhdari.
Mapko Petrovic: A♣K♥
Omar Lakhdari: K♣J♣
Lakhdari was lucky enough to hit a pair on 4♥J♠8♥5♣3♥ to send Petrovic to the rail.
