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.
