Streber From Hero to Zero

Level 24 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Benjamin Streber
Benjamin Streber

Not long ago Benjamin Streber was among the big stacks well above a million but he has just been eliminated after a rough few minutes.

The first crucial hand saw him raise and call the three-bet shove of Hafthor Hlynsson in the small blind for 605,000.

Hafthor Hlynsson: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Benjamin Streber: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The board came {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and the Icelander spiked the queen on the river.

Streber then doubled Alexandre Viard when he raised from under the gun with {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and flopped top two pair only for Viard to turn the nut straight with {j-}{10-}. Streber was forced all in from the big blind after and could not mount a miracle comeback.
