[user75032]

Sam Stein has been active with the big stack. He opened a recent pot to 130,000 from the cutoff and was called by big blind Kyle Zartman. Both players checked the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

flop. When the board paired eights {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

on the turn, Zartman check-called a bet of 165,000 from Stein.

Stein didn't slow down on the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

river. After Zartman checked a third time, Stein bet 230,000. Zartman quickly called with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

; Stein just mucked.
