Johannes Straver Eliminated in 15th Place ($209,346)

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 320,000 from the hijack and Johannes Straver defended from the big blind.

Straver check-called a bet of 300,000 on the Q♥10♣7♥ flop to see the 9♣ fall on the turn. After Straver checked, Ponakovs fired out a bet of 1,050,000 into the middle. Straver thought briefly before sliding in the call.

Straver checked again on the 6♦ river. After doing a bit of inventory, Ponakovs moved all in. Ponakovs had the covering stack so the bet was for Straver's remaining 2,425,000 chips. Straver went deep into the tank, using multiple time extensions, before he elected to make the call.

Ponakovs turned over K♥J♦ for the nuts. Straver showed Q♠8♣ for a straight himself as he exited the tournament area.
