Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Logi Laxdal - Rupert Derler - Volodymyr Legkyi
Logi Laxdal - Rupert Derler - Volodymyr Legkyi

Volodymyr Legkyi opened from under the gun and Logi Laxdal shoved from the small blind for 1,300,000. Rubert Derler re-shoved from the big blind for 1,550,000 and Legkyi who covered both called.

In the showdown, the players had the following hands :

Logi Laxdal: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Rupert Derler: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Volodymyr Legkyi: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The flop was {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{a-Diamonds} giving Derler a set of tens and putting him in the lead.

The turn was safe for him as the {9-Spades} fell but the {j-Hearts} gave the big pot to Laxdal who rivered the straight leaving Derler with very few chips.
