Stein Does It Again

[user75032]

Sam Stein

One thing we've noticed about Sam Stein during the four days of this tourament is that he doesn't easily fold on the flop. Sitting with the button, he took a raised flop of {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

against Kyle Zartman. Zartman bet 133,000 and Stein called.

When the turn came {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

, Zartman checked. That opened the door for Stein to bet 216,000, a bet Zartman called. Zartman checked again on a seeming blank of a river, {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

. Stein, never shy, bet 453,000. Zartman cut calling chips off of his stack and threw them over the betting line. He mucked his hand when Stein showed {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{j-Clubs}

, having turned top pair.
