Valerstein Vanquished; Jablonski, Kerstetter Continue
We just had a three-way all in involving a trio of short stacks — Stan Jablonski, Roman Valerstein, and Jamie Kerstetter.
Valerstein got things started with an all-in push from middle position, and Kerstetter reraised all in from a seat over. It then folded back to Jablonski who called all in from the blinds with the 40,000 or so he had left.
Jablonski: 
Valerstein: 
Kerstetter: 
The flop came 
, and all were remarking on Jablonski's double-gutter draw. Then the 
fell on the turn, and the conversation turned to flushes. Then came the river... the 
! Jablonski hit his flush to survive with a triple-up, while Kerstetter essentially broke even on the hand.
Meanwhile, Valerstein hits the rail in 44th place for a cash of $3,604.
