Lindstrom Spikes a Straight to Bust Toompere in Massive Pot
Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of Q♠6♣3♦, Fredrik Lindstrom bet 85,000 from the cutoff and Ragnar Toompere raised to 250,000 on the button. Lindstrom then moved all in and Toompere took a minute before calling for 800,000 more.
Ragnar Toompere: A♠K♣Q♥5♠ 
Fredrik Lindstrom: A♦5♦4♣2♥
Toompere was ahead with top pair, while Lindstrom had a straight draw. The 5♣ turn improved Lindstrom to his straight and left Toompere needing to fill up on the river to survive, but he missed the 3♠ river and was sent to the rail a few spots off the money.
Igor Pihela was also eliminated recently as the field reached the money bubble.
