Stein in the Danger Zone

[user75032]

Sam Stein

We haven't called NAPT Venetian runner-up Sam Stein's name much today. His initial stack of 30,000 chips has shrunk to about 10,000, which is starting to look small with blinds at 200 and 400.

Stein tried raising his button to 925 in a recent hand and was called by the big blind. Both players checked the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

{2-Hearts}

flop. Stein called 1,500 from the big blind on the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

turn, then both players checked when a third club, {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

, hit the river. The big blind's top pair, {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

, was good enough to win the pot.
