Sayegh Turns a Straight
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
James Slape was all-in for 127,000 from the blinds and Zaher Sayegh was the player trying to eliminate him.
James Slape: K♠6♣ 
Zaher Sayegh: A♦Q♠
Slape was behind to Sayegh's ace-queen, but he did have two live cards working for him. The K♥10♠A♣ flop gave each player a pair, but Sayegh was still in the lead with top pair. Sayegh improved to a straight on the J♣ turn to take a commanding lead. The 6♥ fell on the river and Slape hit the rail.
