FSPC Event #1 (Day 2): Coughlin And Legault Battle For The Tournament's Largest Pot

2018 Florida State Poker Championship
Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 30 (Blinds 60,000/120,000/120,000)
Total Entries: 1,227
Players Remaining: 8

Steven Legault was begging for his hand to hold when the cards went on their backs, with the dealer obliging on the turn and river.

When we heard an all-in and a call at the final table, nobody would have guessed that it would be between the two largest stacks.  On a flop of Q10♠ 9♠, Steve Legault and David Coughlin got it in, for a pot worth over 7,000,000.  Legault held K J♠, having flopped the straight, up against the Q♣ 9♣ of Coughlin (top and bottom pair).  The turn and river would not bring Coughlin the full house, and Legault would vault into the final table chip lead.

Steve Legault - 7,400,000
David Coughlin - 3,800,000
