Stewart Falls to Santa Maria
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
In a preflop confrontation Michael Stewart found himself all in and at risk from middle position against EAPT Barcelona champion Fernando Santa Maria who held a covering stack.
Michael Stewart: A♥3♥
Fernando Santa Maria: A♦Q♣
Stewart was dominated by a bigger ace but took the lead on the 6♥4♣3♠ flop. Santa Maria reclaimed the lead on the Q♥ turn but still had to fade Stewart who had picked up the nut-flush draw. The 7♠ river was a brick and Stewart made his exit from the tournament area while Santa Maria collected the last of his chips.
