Woods Flops a Straight to Eliminate Talebi
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Fabiano Kovalski opened to 24,000 from middle position. Matin Talebi in the cutoff three-bet all-in for 355,000, then John Woods in the small blind jammed for 1,250,000. Kovalski folded and cards went on their backs.
Matin Talebi: A♠J♠ 
John Woods: A♦K♠
A jack as a doorcard gave a pair to Talebi, but it was part of a flop of Q♠10♦J♦ which completed a straight for Woods. The 7♣2♠ runout didn't make them split and Talebi was eliminated.
