Stern Fires a Big Bet on the River
Level 12
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Erik Seidel opened for 27,000 from the hijack and received a call from Sandor Demjan in the cutoff. When action reached Dani Stern on the button, he opted for a three-bet to 71,000. The blinds folded, as did Seidel, and Demjan made the call making it heads-up action to the 
flop.
Demjan checked and then wasted little time in calling when Stern bet 85,000. Both players then checked the 
turn and Demjan checked for a third time on the 
river. Stern took his time before betting a hefty 300,000 and Demjan shot back in his chair. He counted out the chips to make the call, leaned back and considered what to do. It appeared he was going to commit, but then he grabbed his cards and tossed them to the dealer.
