Banov Flops a Straight to Double Through Shaar
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Elad Shaar made it 90,000 from early position then Hristiyan Banov called from the cutoff. Nebojsa Musulin also called on the button.
On the Q♣K♣J♦ flop, it checked to Banov who fired 375,000. Musulin folded, but Shaar shoved. Banov called off his stack of 460,000.
Hristiyan Banov: Q♠J♣10♦9♠ 
Elad Shaar: K♠K♥10♥2♣
Both had flopped monsters but it was Banov's straight that was in the lead, with Shaar needing the board to pair to earn the elimination.
The runout of 4♥5♥ was clean for Banov, and he doubled up.
