Alan Sternberg - 12th Place

Hold on a minute. Picking up jaw off floor.

Ok. Alan Sternberg opened to 95,000 from the cutoff, and in the small blind, Vanessa Selbst reraised to 280,000. Sternberg thought for a moment before four-bet shoving for 1.68 million. Selbst asked for a count, and then somehow said, "I have to call."

Showdown
Sternberg: {6-Spades}

Selbst:

The {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{9-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

flop paired them both, and Sternberg picked up a gutshot with the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

on the turn. But the river was the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

, eliminating a stunned Sternberg in 12th place. With a quick fist pump, Selbst crossed the 7-million mark.
