Legat's Shove Saves Craig From Elimination
Level 32
: 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
After Scott Vener raised to 500,000, Brian Craig three-bet shoved from the next seat over, and action folded to Simon Legat in the small blind who then four-bet shoved. When action folded back around to Vener he said, "I know I'm gonna hit a five," and folded 
face up. The players tabled their hands and Craig needed his small pair to hold against Legat's two paint cards.
Brian Craig: 
Simon Legat: 
The flop came 
, which caused Vener to sigh, and the 
completed the board, giving Craig the double-up. Afterward, Vener remarked that he would have definitely called Craig's all-in if Legat hadn't re-shoved.
