Leghait Gets a Leg Up

Emmanuel Leghait seems to have been the beneficiary of a 20k+ pot, and his stack is now at a roughly chip-leading 150k. I didn't catch the the action, but the board read 5 2 7 Q 9 when Leghait checked the river. His opponents Veselin Petrov and Konstaninos Nanos both checked behind, and mucked when Leghait revealed Q 5 for two pair.

Petrov is still above average after that on 70k; EPT veteran and serial winner of various other tournaments Nanos is down below his starting stack though on 27k.
