Sting Like a Bee

Gursel Ali opens with a raise to 5,000, and Vito Montalto makes the call. Action comes around to Manny Stavropoulos, and he moves all in over the top of both players. Ali ducks out, but Montalto makes the call, showing down {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}. Stavropolous is behind and at risk of being knocked out with his {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts}.

The flop provides some outs to the chop as it falls {4-?} {7-?} {4-?}. The turn and river blank off though, {10-?} and {A-?} respectively, and Montalto's queen kicker plays. He takes down the pot, chipping up to 89,000 and eliminating Manny Stavropoulos just short of the money.
