Straver Eliminates Agaev With a Set
Joshua Wang raised from under the gun to 4,000, Adam Agaev called from the cutoff, and Johannes Straver called from the small blind. The flop arrived with 6♥4♦8♥ and Straver and Wang checked, while Agaev put out 8,000. Straver called, and Wang folded.
On the turn J♣ Straver checked again, and Agaev put out another 8,000. Straver called.
The river 9♦ saw Straver check again, and Agaev moved most of his chips in for nearly 17,000. Straver announced, "all-in." Agaev made the call for his last 500 and saw the bad news.
Adam Agaev: Q♦J♦ 
Johannes Straver: 4♥4♠
Agaev held a pair of jacks, and Straver held the set for the win.
Also at the table was Jaehyung Park, sitting with a healthy stack, who had already paid for his tournament after eliminating Hall of Famer Eli Elezra for a bounty worth $2,021.
