Stang Falls First Hand

Bernie Stang
Bernie Stang

The action picked up where it left off last night, with the first hand of the day played resulting in the elimination of Bernie Stang. It was Ryan Otto the man driving the action, opening to 12,000 from the hijack with Stang checking his hole cards and mulling over his options before choosing to call.

The {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{k-Hearts} flop saw Stang riffle his chips in thought before leading for 15,000. Otto responded with a re-raise to 40,000 immediately and Stang shoved before Otto had even got the bet into the middle of the table. Stang was called as quickly as he shoved and both players revealed their holdings.

Bernie Stang: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Ryan Otto: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Stang had the nut flush draw and Otto held top, top for the lead in the hand, which he maintained when the {3-Spades} turn and {2-Spades} river completed the hand to bring Stang's final table adventure to a close just one hand into the proceedings.

Stang headed for the rail empty-handed, while Otto stacked up to 758,000 to further strengthen his chip lead and bring the final table down to eight.
