John Krpan opened to 12,000 from the hijack, and Brandon Wilson called from the big blind.
Both players checked the 6♠9♦7♠ flop, to see the 2♠ on the turn. Wilson then bet 14,000, and Krpan called.
The river brought the J♣ and Wilson took some time, before betting to put Krpan all-in for 85,000, and he quickly made the call.
Wilson announced "straight" and tabled 8♣5♠ for a flopped straight, and Krpan tossed his cards in the muck and exited the tournament area.

Espen Jorstad memorably won the WSOP Main Event in 2022. But the victory, which netted him $10 million and a gold bracelet, didn't come without some difficult decisions.
The champion, in a GTO Wizard video, broke down the ICM implications of his decisions along the way at the final table four years ago.
