Daniel Strelitz

Daniel Strelitz moved all in for 36 million with {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} from under the gun and George Lagos shipped all in over the top with {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} in the cutoff.

Strelitz was at risk and ran into the strongest possible hand preflop as the unofficial final table was on the horizon. The flop came {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Spades} and Strelitz was left drawing to a chop. The {6-Spades} on the turn meant Strelitz was drawing dead to the {10-Diamonds} on the river.
