Navani Doubles Banks Up and Then Gets Eliminated

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 4,000 ante

The board read {j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades} with around 60,000 in the middle already.

Nicholas Banks shoved from the hijack for 58,100 and Manoj Navani tanked and then made the call.

Nicholas Banks: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Manoj Navani: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Banks had flopped a pair of jacks and Navani had a pair of sevens and the open-ended straight draw.

The river completed the board with the {5-Clubs} which didn't help Navani as he had to pay Banks the double up and he was left with 500.

The hand right after, Banks raised to 6,000 from the lojack, Gil Zemer three-bet to 16,000 from the hijack and Navani was all-in for his last 100 after paying the ante. Action folded back to Banks who folded.

Manoj Navani: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Gil Zemer: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}{a-Clubs}, Navani turned a flush draw but bricked the river to get eliminated in the last level of the night.
