Stevermer Gets a Knockout

HillKerby

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

The dealer was in the process of running the cards on an all-in preflop situation where a short stack put the last of his chips into the middle and received action from Dennis Stevermer.

All-In Player:
Dennis Stevermer:

Stevermer paired his king on the flop but his opponent actually picked up one extra out as his three outs to a ten were replaced by four outs to a jack for Broadway. However, the turn and river were both clean and Stevermer took down the pot and added to his stack along the way.
