Erik Sagstrom Eliminated

Eric Sagstrom
Eric Sagstrom

Limit Hold'em

Erik Sagstrom just went from short-stacked to on the rail in the space of two hands. And it happened in what is probably the Swede's best game-- limit hold'em.

Sagstrom open-raised from late position and James Van Alstyne defended his big blind. The flop came down {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Van Alstyne check-called a bet from Sagstrom. The turn was the {2-Spades} and Van Alstyne turned around and led out. Sagstrom called and they went to the river which fell the {7-Diamonds}. Van Alstyne bet and Sagstrom folded.

A few hands later, David Oppenheim raised, Sagstrom three-bet all-in and Oppenheim called. Sagstrom's {10-Spades}{8-Spades} did not improve against Oppenheim's {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades} and he made a quiet exit.
