Stang Hits the Road

Will Shillibier

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Three players saw a flop of Q♣6♠3♣ and it was the first player, Bernie Stang, who shoved for 76,500 into a pot of around 25,000. Mark Yazbeck called and Martin Finger folded.

Bernie Stang: A♣8♣ All in
Mark Yazbeck: Q♥8♥

Yazbeck had flopped top pair but would have to dodge clubs or an ace to send Stang to the rail. The turn was the 9♠ and the river the 4♥ and Stang was eliminated.
