Metaxas Turns a Straight and Knocks Out Bonnet
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action was picked up on the turn with roughly 21,000 in the pot and the board showing 9♣3♦8♠7♦.
After the turn Nikolas Metaxas bet out 15,000, leaving just 200 chips behind. Then Guillaume Bonnet went all in for his stack of 12,100. Zachary Rainwater sat in the tank for about a minute thinking over his decision, before finding a fold to leave the players heads up, with Bonnet at risk.
Guillaume Bonnet: 9♥9♦ 
Nikolas Metaxas: 10♠6♠
Bonnet flopped a set but would need the board to pair to stay in the tournament after Metaxas turned a straight. But the Q♣ on the river brought no help and Bonnet was eliminated, as Metaxas scooped the pot.
