Stein Finds Aces in Battle of the Blinds

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Sam Stein opened from the small blind and was three-bet by the player in the big blind. Stein responded with a four-bet, which was in turn five-bet. That wasn't the end of the hand because Stein six-bet shoved and the big blind called.

Stein: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}
Big blind: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

Stein was already way ahead in the hand and went even further into the distance when the {9-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop came into view. The {9-Clubs} turn locked up the hand for Stein and his opponent was already heading out of the tournament area by the time the {7-Hearts} completed the board.
