After a series of raises, Allen Cunningham is all in before the flop with KK. However, he ran into the one hand that he didn't want to see - the AA of Ben Straate.

The board comes 754510 and Cunningham is eliminated from the tournament. After the hand, Straate shoots up to over 1,000,000 in chips.

Mark Teltscher gets it all in pre-flop with JJ against current chip leader (at the time), Ben Straate's A10. The board comes J8523, giving Teltscher top set on flop. Teltscher doubles up to just over 800,000 this hand while Straate falls down to just over 1 million in chips.

Action folds around to Benjamin Straate in the small blind who raises to 60,000. Steve Landfish makes the call in the big blind. The flop comes K87 and Straate leads out for 100,000. Landfish pops him for another 150,000 and Straate makes the call.

The turn is the J and Straate slows things down and checks. However, Landfish is looking to play a big pot and puts in 300,000. Straate calls.

The river is the A. Straate checks again and Landfish bets only 250,000 into this 1.2 million chip pot.

With the board reading K87JA (4 spades) Straate moves all in. Landfish gives up his hand quickly and Straate takes the huge pot.

After the hand Landfish is down to 480,000 while Straate takes the chip lead with over 2,800,000.

boooooooooom lets go straate

On a board of KJ10 Benjamin Straate bets 300,000 into an already large pot. Tom Frankin thinks for a minute, looking at the tournamnet clock and the payouts before moving all in for an additional 131,000. Straate calls and shows KK for top set. Franklin shows QQ and will need to catch an ace, nine or running queens to win the pot.

The board fills out KJ1022 and Franklin is eliminated in 20th place. Straate extends his chip lead and is now at 3,300,000.

End of the day!

take it down straate!

If Straate starts doing tourney videos instead of 6max cash I'm canceling my subscription.
