Stein Cracks Aces on the River
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Arlie Shaban raised to 2,000 under the gun and Jermaine Haughton three-bet to 8,000 in middle position. Z Stein called in the big blind, while Shaban got out of the way.
The flop came Q♥J♣5♣ and Haughton bet 15,000. Stein then moved all in for 24,300, and Haughton snap-called.
Z Stein: 8♣7♣
Jermaine Haughton: A♣A♥
Stein was looking to complete a flush draw against Haughton's aces as the 2♠ fell on the turn. The river brought the Q♣ to give him his flush, and Stein doubled up.
