Legendre Loses Big Chip, Wins Pot
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Leonard August had opened from the hijack, and Sean Legendre had defended his big blind when the A♦5♣Q♠ flop was spread. Legendre checked to August, who placed a continuation-bet of 600.
Legendre called and check-called the 6♥ turn as well, where August upped the ante to 1,300. Legendre had to ask change for his T-25,000 chip to call the bet. "The dreaded moment, breaking the big chip," he stated.
The 8♥ river then checked to showdown. Legendre showed A♣10♦ for top pair, and August sent his cards into the muck.
