Angelakis Busts to Running Straight

Con Angelakis raised to 2,600 from early position before Michael Pedley moved all in for his last 11,525 from late position. Danny Mountt flat-called this bet on the button, and Angelakis called as well.

They saw a flop of {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades} where Angelakis moved all in. Mountt had chips to spare and thought for a long time before deciding to make the call.

Angelakis held the lead with {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} for top pair, top kicker to have both opponents in bad shape as they both showed "Big Slick" with {A-?}{K-?}.

Remarkably the turn and river fell {Q-Clubs}, {10-Hearts} giving both Pedley and Mountt a straight to eliminate Angelakis in unfortunate circumstances. Pedley is now up to 18,200 after working with a short stack all day, while Mountt is still going strong with 68,000.
