Stranak Scoops with Straight
J♥K♣7♦3♣6♦
8♥Q♦8♦4♦4♣
Michael Garner open-shoved the flop and received a call from next to act Samuel Stranak. Bernardo Tavares then decided to go all in for 131,000, and after a minute or so in the blender, Samuel Stranak made the call.
Tavares showed Q♠J♦10♠9♥ for a wrap that ended up bricking, as he got to the river with just a pair on top, and two on the bottom.
The other two players were both playing the bottom board on the flop, as Stranak had A♣8♣5♠4♥ and Garner was holding the same hand on that board, with A♦8♠6♠2♣.
Garner took a brutal beat as Stranak both turned a full house, then rivered an unnecessary one, as he took down the bottom board. Despite Tavares holding all the straight outs, it was Stranak who somehow ran into one as the top board ended up with him holding the nuts, sending both players to the rail.
