Aleksei Ivanov: 
Manish Goenka: 
The flop came 
for Ivanov to hit a straight draw.
The turn was the 
to give Ivanov the straight indeed but he could also improve to the straight flush or normal flush. Goenka was looking for the king to give him the broadway but the 
on the river kept Ivanov ahead to double up.
Goenka was left behind with less than 8 big blinds which he lost shortly after.
