Niveau 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Eduard Barsegyan and Ramin Hajiyev went heads-up to a flop of 10♦8♣5♥ where Barsegyan, in the big blind, led out with an all-in shove. Hajiyev then called off his last 450,000.

Ramin Hajiyev: 10♣9♣
Eduard Barsegyan: J♠9♠

Hajiyev had top pair and needed to dodge Barsegyan's straight draw to stay alive. The K♦ turn was safe, but the river brought the 7♦ as Barsegyan completed his straight to send Hajiyev to the rail.
