Petter Fransson Eliminated in 19th Place ($17,276)

Petter Fransson open-raised all in for his whole stack of 118,000. It was looking like he'd pick up the blinds and antes, but Matt Matros called from the small blind. The big blind folded and the players showed:

Petter Fransson: {Q-Clubs} {J-Spades}
Matros: {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}

The flop came {J-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {6-Hearts} giving Fransson some outs. He could catch a {Q-?} or a {J-?} or make a runner-runner straight. The turn fell the {10-Spades} giving him a straight draw but the river came the {3-Spades} and he finished second best. He headed for the rail while Matros stacked his chips, which are now over the 750,000 mark.
