Legat Goes Runner-Runner to Crack Hu's Aces

Level 14 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Simon Legat was in a heads-up pot against Anthony Hu and all of the chips got in the middle on the flop of {7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, with Hu being the player at risk.

Anthony Hu: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Simon Legat: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Hu was in great shape to double up with his superior overpair, but the board ran out {9-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for Legat to hit a runner-runner straight and win the pot, eliminating Hu in the process.

"Absolutely brutal," someone at the table commented.
