Stout Out
![[user198174]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Over at Table 435 action folded around to Matt Stout on the button, who made it 15,000. The small blind then moved all in, a bet that would put Stout all in. The big blind folded and Stout took a few moments before completing the call and putting all of his chips at risk.
Stout: 
Opponent: 
A 
flop spelled disaster for Stout as he new he would need running cards to steal this hand away. A 
on the turn was it, and Stout was drawing dead. A meaningless 
fell for the river as Stout was eliminated.

Lehavot Loses One
We don't know exactly how the action went, but Amir Lehavot was in a heated pot preflop, that ended with Lehavot's opponent all in and at risk.
Lehavot: 
Opponent: 
The dealer then spread a 
flop giving Lehavot a pair of aces, but it was his opponent's set of eights that held the lead. After the planted on the turn, Lehavot found himself with a potential out. Now he could hit an ace and steal this pot away. Unfortunately for him a 
fell on the river and Lehavot had no claim on the 120,000 pot.
Lehavot, who is no stranger to deep runs in tournaments, won 2011's Event 7: $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em Championship. Even though he just lost a hand, he still possesses enough chips to pursue poker glory.

Lam Takes a Chunk from Tolbert
From under the gun, Tai Lam raised to 8,500. In the next seat, Clint Tolbert reraised to 21,000 with a little over 50,000 behind. Action folded back to Lam and he made the call, leaving himself with 65,000 going into the flop.
The flop came down 10-high with the 
falling and Lam moved all in for his 65,000. Tolbert couldn't make the call and was forced to lay down his hand.

Dalesandro's Jacks Hold

Dalesandro tabled the 
to be in front of his opponent's 
. The flop, turn and river came 
and Dalesandro's jacks held up to bust his opponent.
With that pot, Dalesandro moved back over 100,000 in chips.

Mountain Turns Into Hill
Dan Hill held a massive stack a few minutes ago, but now that is gone. Still holding strong at a healthy 165,000 Hill is only a fraction of his former strength. We did happen to catch a hand with him where he raised to 7,500 preflop. Ravi Raghavan on the button was the only one who opted to call and both players saw a 
flop.
It was on the flop that both players agreed to check. The 
on the turn saw a 8,000 bet from Hill, and a quick call from Raghavan. A on the turn scared both players into tapping the felt for a check, and Hill un-confidentially flipped over 
. Raghavan countered by throwing his cards in the muck, as Hill possessed the best hand.

Here Comes Stein
Sam Stein was once nursing a pretty short stack and looking to double up. He's done that by now, and much more. We just caught him picking up some chips from David Dalesandro that sent him over 225,000.
On the board, Dalesandro checked and Stein bet 16,000. After a minute or so in the tank, Dalesandro made the call.
The river completed the board with the 
and Dalesandro checked again. Stein slid out a tall stack of yellow T1,000 chips for a bet of 26,000. Dalesandro tanked for another minute, but this time gave it up and Stein won the pot.
Stein is a Las Vegas resident with over $3.3 million in live tournament earnings. His best year was in 2011 when he won over $2.15 million and also recorded the single largest score of his career. To start off that year, Stein took fourth in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event for a cool $1 million. He then won his first World Series of Poker gold bracelet in the $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event for over $420,000. This was just two weeks after he took third in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em Championship that Amir Lehavot won for $264,651. Later on that year, Stein had another six-figure score by taking down the European Poker Tour San Remo €10,000 High Roller for $€223,000.
