Stein Still Accumulating

Despite those two hiccups right before the dinner break, Sam Stein shows no sign of slowing down. He called small blind Daniel Clemente's pre-flop raise to 285,000. Both players checked a king-high flop, {5-Spades} {9-Clubs} {K-Hearts}. When Clemente also checked the {7-Hearts} turn, there seemed to be no way the aggressive Stein would refuse to bet. He didn't disappoint, betting 360,000 and taking down the pot.
