Rous Flops the Nuts to Eliminate Pedersen
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Marek Rous opened the hijack to 6,000 and got called by Sandor Gyorffy on the button. Thomas Pedersen then shoved for 28,000 from the small blind, which both Rous and Gyorffy called.
On the 3?7?5? flop, Rous check-called a bet of 16,000 from Gyorffy.
A J? came on the turn where Rous checked again, and Gyorffy bet 16,000. Rous check-raised to 100,000, and Gyorffy quickly folded.
Thomas Pedersen: Q?Q?7?6? 
Marek Rous: 8?6?5?4?
Rous had flopped the nut straight and kept his lead when the J? landed on the river, which meant Pedersen was eliminated.
