Straate to the Top

Benjamin Straate has just eliminated another player to add to his already massive stack. Kai Paulson was the victim this time and the two got all the chips in the middle preflop:
Showdown
Straate: 
Paulson: 
The 
flop pushed Straate way ahead, and Paulson stood from his chair trying to will a jack to make broadway. Neither the turn (
) nor the river (
) completed that straight though, and Paulson was eliminated from the tournament.
With the knockout, Straate now sits with 950,000 chips.
