Not a Bad Start for Stern

Max Stern

Four players paid 975 each to see a flop of {3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{J-Spades}. The player in the under-the-gun position was first to act and bet pot, which was 4,125. One player dropped, and action was on Max Stern. He eyed up the stacks of his two opponents before raising pot. The cutoff quickly folded while UTG made the call.

UTG: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}
Stern: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The {4-Clubs} turn gave Stern a low and assured him at least half the pot; however, in order to scoop he needed to improve his high hand on the river. Unfortunately for Stern, the {10-Diamonds} blanked and he had to settle for a chop. He didn't seem to disappointed though, probably because he is currently sitting on a stack of 28,000.
