Bonyadi Doubles with a Flopped Straight
Niveau 30
: 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
The shortest stack among the remaining players was Farzad Bonyadi, who dropped below five big blinds as the tournament moved to the 20th level. It was only a matter of a few hands until he ended up all in, trying to earn the vital double.
Bonyadi had a chance when he was in the big blind. Senovio Ramirez III open-shoved from the second position, and all players between him and Bonyadi folded. Bonyadi, however, called off his remaining 485,000.
Bonyadi: 
Ramirez III: 
Bonyadi was slightly behind, but he couldn't ask for much better flop than the 
, having made a straight. Ramirez needed a jack to hit a bigger straight, but the 
turn and 
river didn't cooperate.
