Not Sternberg's Orbit

[user140525]

Alan Sternberg's been steadily building today, but his last few hands didn't continue the upward trend. He raised to 53,000 from early position but was forced to give it up when Elio Fox moved all in.

Two hand later, Peter Jetten made it 55,000 from the cutoff, and Sternberg defended his big blind. Both players checked the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

flop, and Sternberg again checked the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

on the turn. Jetten bet 75,000, and Alan raised to 175,000. Jetten called to see the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

on the river. Sternberg tried another bullet, betting 225,000. Jetten made the call, and Sternberg just mucked. "Nice hand," he said, as Jetten tabled {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

for trips. Sternberg fell to 2.5 million while Jetten is up to 1.55 million.
