Montero Turns a Straight to Knockout Ramirez
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 0 ante
Luis Yepez opened the action with a raise to 700, which was called by a player in the hijack, Florentino Montero in the cutoff, and a player on the button. Then Jesus Ramirez three-bet to 3,500 from the small blind, which all four players called.
After the 6♦10♠3♠ flop Ramirez bet out 11,000. Yepez and the hijack folded, before Montero raised all in for his stack of 28,000. The button folded, and Ramirez called for less to put himself at risk.
Jesus Ramirez: A♥Q♠ 
Florentino Montero: 5♣4♣
Ramirez was ahead with his ace high, but would need to fade the two live cards, and open ended straight draw of Montero. But once the board ran out 7♦ on the turn, and A♣ on the river, Montero turned a straight to knockout Ramirez.
