Birmingham Fills Up to Bust Stein
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Donovan Bates bet 5,000 from the big blind on a flop of A♦9♦J♥ and Z Stein called in the hijack. Ronald Birmingham then raised to 20,000 on the button and Bates folded, while Stein moved all in. Birmingham quickly called.
Z Stein: 8♦7♦
Ronald Birmingham: A♠6♥
Birmingham showed top pair, while Stein had a flush draw. The A♣ turn improved Birmingham to trips, while the J♣ river gave him a full house to secure the pot.
The stacks were counted down, and Birmingham had Stein's remaining 50,400 narrowly covered to send him to the rail.
