: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Osvaldo Legrand got it all in pre-flop for his remaining stack of roughly 32,000 against Greg Hustad who had him well covered.
Greg Hustad: 
Osvaldo Legrand: 
The flop was 
looking good for Legrand who had just tripled up 20-minutes earlier. The turn was painful, however when the 
hit the board. The river bricked off the 
and unfortunately for Legrand, he wasn't able to hold when he needed to the most.
