Stein Hangs On With Aces to Double
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A player in the hijack raised to 4,000, Z Stein moved all in for 30,500 in the cutoff, and the hijack quickly called.
Z Stein: A♣A♦
Opponent: A♠J♠
Stein was a big favorite to double with his aces, but the 9♠7♠5♦ flop gave his opponent outs to the nut flush. "Oh shit, GG," Stein told his tablemates as he got up from his seat, already anticipating the worst.
The 3♥ turn, though, was safe, and Stein's aces stayed in front on the 2♣ river to earn him the double up.
