Not so Stern after all

Max Stern lost another (relative) biggie, when his eight-low and ace-ten high got scooped by David Halpern's six-low and ace-jack high.

Down to just 10,000 after that, Stern had little hope of recovering and got his last in the next hand; both his opponents called.

To a round of applause, we lose our last Costa Rican, and we are heads up.
