Stempien Fades Massive Draw
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
On the last hand before the break, John Stempien and Dominic Baranyi saw a flop of ![]()
![]()
and the chips started to fly. Baranyi led out for 1,200, Stempien raised to 4,000, Baranyi three-bet to 11,000, and Stempien shoved about 25,000 total. Baranyi went into the tank for a couple minutes — even calling the clock on himself — before eventually deciding to commit the remaining 14,000.
Stempien: ![]()
Baranyi: ![]()
Stempien was in front with his overpair but had a plethora of outs to fade. He did just that when the
and
completed the board, and Stempien let out a "YES!" before heading off on his break.
