Stefanski Gets Max Value

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Michael Gagliano opened to 13,000 from the cutoff with Q♥10♠ and David Stefanski opted to defend his big blind with K♥10♦.

On a flop of 5♦Q♦K♣, Stefanski checked it over, before calling a bet of 9,000 from his opponent.

The turn K♠ went check-check, leading the 2♣ river to be dealt. Here, Stefanski opted to lead out with a pot-sized bet of 53,000. Gagliano made the call but his top two was no good, as Stefanski's turned trips saw the pot pushed in his direction

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Nicholas Palma
Nicholas Palma

Brock Wilson opened to 12,000 under the gun, and David Stefanski to his left flatted the bet. Action folded to Nicholas Palma on the button, who moved all in for 97,000. Wilson folded, and Stefanski called.

Nicholas Palma: Q♥Q♣ All in
David Stefanski: 9♣9♦

The 7♠4♠5♥ came clean, as did the 3♥ turn, but the 9♠ river was a dagger to the heart of Palma, as his chips headed in the direction of Stefanski, and he bubbled the official final table.
