Lichtenberger Adds to His Lead

Andrew Lichtenberger opened with a raise to 16,000 in the hijack and when it folded to Philip Sternheimer on the button, he three-bet to 46,000. It folded back to Lichtenberger and he made the call.

After the 4♠10♦A♥ flop, Lichtenberger check-called a bet of 31,000 from Sternheimer.

Both players checked the Q♥ on the turn, to see the 3♥ on the river. Lichtenberger then led out for a small bet of 17,000, and Sternheimer responded with a raise to 64,000. Lichtenberger took his time before three-betting to 215,000, and Sternheimer quickly flicked in a chip to call.

Lichtenberger then tabled K♠J♠ for a turned Broadway straight, and Sternheimer mucked his hand to give the sizable pot to Lichtenberger.

At a nearby table, Jermey Becker was eliminated.
