Stein Seizes One

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 20,000 ante

From the button, Galen Hall put in a min-raise with two black fours, {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Sam Stein defended from the big blind with the {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and the flop came down {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Both players checked and the turn brought the {Q-Clubs}. Stein seized the opportunity, reading the situation correctly, and fired 535,000. Hall folded and Stein won the pot with just eight high.

Ionel Doubles with Jacks

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 20,000 ante
Anton Ionel
Anton Ionel

Anton Ionel finally made a stand and moved all in from the small blind for 845,000. He held the {J-Clubs}{J-Spades} and was called by Galen Hall in the big blind who held the {K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

The flop came down {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and kept Ionel in the lead. The turn brought the {7-Spades} to pair the board, but it changed nothing. Hall still needed a king to eliminate Ionel in fourth place.

The river completed the board with the {2-Hearts} and Ionel's patience paid off as he doubled up to 1.7 million in chips. That's still less than 10 big blinds.

Sam Stein Eliminated in 4th Place ($1,000,000)

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 20,000 ante
Sam Stein - 4th Place
Sam Stein - 4th Place

From the button, Chris Oliver raised to 455,000 with the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. He's taken a little bit of time off from the action, but got back into it here with a real hand Sam Stein three-bet from the small blind to 1.189 million with the {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. After Anton Ionel folded in the big blind, Oliver moved all in. Stein went into the tank for a while, tying to figure out if he should go with his hand or not. Problem is, Stein has seen Oliver show down some crazy holdings.

Stein tanked for a few minutes and then finally announced a call. When he did call, he turned his hand up and saw the bad news as Oliver had him dominated.

The flop, turn and river ran out {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. Stein went down to Oliver's ace-queen and he was sent home in fourth place for a cool $1,000,000.
