Sabia Turns A straight to Knockout a Player

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Matthew Sabia raised to 6,000 from the cutoff, and was called by a player on the button, the small blind Matthew Sabia, and the big blind Vichien Siprajim.

The flop came 7♥6♠4♠ and it checked to the player on the button, who bet out 20,000. Riebel and Siprajim folded before Sabia raised all in. The player on the button quickly called, putting his tournament at risk.

Button: 9♥9♦ All in
Matthew Sabia: K♠5♠

The button was ahead with his pocket nines, but would have to fade a spade, a three, an eight or a king to stay alive. But when the 8♣ came on the river Sabia improved to a straight, and the 8♥ on the river officially eliminated the player on the button and the pot went to Sabia.
