Ghazal Gets There on the River to Knock a Player Out

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

On a {5-Spades}{k-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop with just under 6,000 in the pot already, Elie Ghazal checked to an opponent who bet 6,000. Ghazal check-raised all in putting his opponent at risk and they quickly called.

Ghazal: {9-Spades}{3-Spades}
All-in player: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and the river the seemingly safe {4-Clubs}. The player with queens fist-pumped and pushed his queens into the middle in preparation to receive his double-up.

"Straight," announced the dealer, pushing the corresponding cards up, and awarding the pot to Ghazal.
