Stern Loses To Queen-High

[user67765]

Dani Stern raised it up to 625 from early position and found one caller in the small blind - a player who Stern has had many verbal confrontations with throughout the day.

The flop landed {7-Clubs}

and both players checked. The turn brought the {3-Clubs}

and action checked to Stern who tossed out 750. His opponent thought for a moment or two before throwing out calling chips.

The river was the {a-Spades}

and the small blind checked to Stern who reluctantly gave up and checked behind.

Stern showed {10-Clubs}

for straight and flush draws that failed to hit, to leave him with just ten-high. His opponent was slow to turn over his own cards, and for a moment we thought that ten-high might be good, but his opponent then showed a creative {Q-Spades}

for just queen-high which was good enough to take it down.

"Make sure you get that one down..." sighed Stern to our reporter, but he's still in good shape with around 45,000 chips.
