Can Anyone Truly Beat Stein?

We're searching Sam the Steamroller Stein's phone for Satan's number at the next break.

Yunus Jamal made his one move from the button -- he moved all in for 1,245,000. Action passed to Sam Stein, who tanked for a minute before calling. Jamal couldn't have felt good about that.

Showdown

Jamal: {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}
Stein: {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}

Sure, Stein was dominated by Jamal. But that hasn't stopped Stein for the last three days. A shudder went through the crowd on a flop of {J-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {K-Spades}. Each player caught a piece. We all theorized about the ways Stein could get a piece of the pot as we prepared for the turn.

{10-Clubs}

"Chop it up," came the call from the gallery. "Queen ball coming." Everyone in media row knew there was no possible way Stein was losing this pot. The river...

{Q-Spades}

"Yunus, you got there!" joked the gallery. Yep. Each player made a Broadway straight. Chop that pot up, and don't try to stand in the way of Sam the Steamroller Stein.
