Taha Maruf - 20th Place

Alan Sternberg's been playing well so far today. He's also had excellent timing and a good dosage of run-good. He opened the button to 50,000 and was called by big blind Taha Maruf. Maruf shoved for 217,000 on a flop of {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{A-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

. Sternberg asked for a count and then called.

Maruf: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

Sternberg: {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

"I'd rather you have the 7," Sternberg admitted. It didn't matter; he promptly filled his flush draw with the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

turn. Once the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

fell on the river, Maruf was on his way to collect $19,000.
