Banov Flops a Straight to Double Through Shaar
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Elad Shaar made it 90,000 from early position then Hristiyan Banov called from the cutoff. Nebojsa Musulin also called on the button.
On the Q?K?J? flop, it checked to Banov who fired 375,000. Musulin folded, but Shaar shoved. Banov called off his stack of 460,000.
Hristiyan Banov: Q?J?10?9? 
Elad Shaar: K?K?10?2?
Both had flopped monsters but it was Banov's straight that was in the lead, with Shaar needing the board to pair to earn the elimination.
The runout of 4?5? was clean for Banov, and he doubled up.
