Sternberg's Day?

[user75032]

Alan Sternberg

It may be Alan Sternberg's day today. He continues to make hands and avoid draws. He opened for 53,000 from middle position and was called by Andrew Ferguson. Sternberg continued for 65,000 on a flop of {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

. Ferguson, silent for most of the day, raised that bet to 180,000.

Sternberg paused and asked Ferguson how much he was playing. Ferguson responded that he had close to a million chips. Armed with that information, Sternberg called.

Both players checked the turn {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

and river

{9-Hearts}

. Sternberg opened top pair, {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

. Ferguson disgustedly flipped {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

into the muck, saying something about "a million outs".
