Event 11: Stiers Doubles Through Fiorito

Everyone limped to Joseph Stiers' big blind, and he potted. Two players called, and the flop brought the {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Anthony Caruso checked, Stiers moved all in, and Michael Fiorito moved in over the top, causing Stiers to sigh deeply. Caruso got out of the way.

Stiers: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Fiorito: {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

The {q-Diamonds} turn gave Stiers the nut flush.

"How about an ace?" he said. The river was the {9-Spades}, good enough for Stiers.

"Finally won one," said Stiers, who had recently been sliding in the counts.
