Pastor Sticking Around

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Vanessa Selbst just can not shake Juan Manuel Pastor. In their last battle, Pastor got his last ~50,000 into the pot preflop with {A-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}, and Selbst was right there with the dominating {A-Spades} {9-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {3-Clubs} {10-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {K-Spades}, though, and both players make the matching Broadway straight. We'd make an argument that the six-card straight should earn the pot, but they don't listen to us. Pastor gets his money back plus half the blinds and antes, and he's been nursing that short stack along for hours now.
