Bracelet Winner Dechant Hits Open Ended Straight
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Roei Simantov raised from the hijack to 600,000, and Dieter Dechant called from the big blind. The flop came out with 4♣3♦9♥, and Dechant bet 1,500,000. Simantov went into the think tank and then moved all in for 4,300,000 effective. Dechant called.
Dieter Dechant: 6♣5♥ 
Roei Simantov: A♥3♠
Dechant was hoping for a straight with his open-ended option, and Simantov was sitting with a pair of threes.
The turn A♦, giving Simantov two pair, but the river 2♣ brought the straight to Dechant, who raked in his chips.
