Altman Flops the Nuts to Eliminate Anton
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Daniel Bellis raised to 55,000 from early position, when Alvin Anton three-bet all in for 410,000 from the hijack. Then Alex Altman four-bet all in. Action folded around leaving the players heads up, with Anton at risk.
Alvin Anton: J♦J♣ 
Alex Altman: A♥K♥
It was a race for his Anton's tournament life, but he was ahead with his pocket jacks. But after the flop came 10♥J♠Q♦ Altman flopped the Broadway straight to put him in the lead. Anton would need the board to pair to improve, but after the 6♠ on the turn, and 4♦ on the river, Altman's straight was best, and Anton was eliminated.
