Hands with Howard: A One Outer on the River
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
After a player raised to 5,000 from early position, Howard Hankin three-bet all in for 26,000 next to act. Sarah Stefan then jammed over the top for 28,700 and action folded around to the original raiser, who opted to call to put both players at risk.
Howard Hankin: 
Sarah Stefan: 
Opponent: 
Stefan was best but the river did her dirty as the board ran out 
to give an excited Hankin a winning set on the river.
"Feel grateful Howard," someone at the table said. "That was a one outer."
"You had a nine?" Hankin asked.
"I did," came the reply. Stefan won a small side pot for 5,400, which she doubled in the next hand.
Unfortunately for her, she busted in the penultimate hand of the level. The silver lining is the re-entry option is available through the break, though whether or not she exercises it remains to be seen.

Bryant Miller: 
Yousef Saleh: 
It was a flip and Saleh took the lead when the 
flop paired his ace. However, Miller picked up a wheel draw, and while the turn didn't complete it, the
