Lifu Huang Turns a Straight to Knock Out a Player

Level 9: 800 / 1,600 ante: 1,600

After a flop of K 9 4 , the UTG+1 player is all in for about 25,000 with A K (pair of kings), and needs it to hold to stay alive against Lifu Huang's J T (diamond flush draw with a gutshot straight draw) on the button.


The turn card is the Q , the river card is the Q , and Huang turns a king-high straight to clinch the pot and eliminate his opponent.
