Stout Doubles After Break

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

In the very first hand after break, Matt Stout pushed all in from middle position after Robert Schmidt opened under the gun. Schmidt made the call and the race was on.

Stout: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Schmidt: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Stout was needing to connect somehow to catch up to the pocket pair, and the flop of {7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs} was no help. The turn {k-Hearts} was the wrong card for him, but the {a-Clubs} on the river saved him from elimination.
