Steven Takes One Down Four Ways

Level 4 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Kenny Hallaert opened from middle position with a raise to 10,000. In the hijack, Justin Bonomo called. Stefan Schillhabel called from the cutoff and Brandon Steven tagged along as well from the big blind.

The flop was {A-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Steven checked to Hallaert. Hallaert put out a bet of 20,000 and all three of his opponents called.

Everyone checked on the {5-Spades} turn and the {5-Clubs} came on the river. Steven led out with a bet of 77,000 and that found folds from all of his opponents. He scooped the pot and pushed closer to 400,000.

Action was on the river between Dietrich Fast and Michael Kamran. The board was {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Kamran was first to act and he checked over to Fast. Fast thought for a bit then moved all in for over 200,000 chips. Kamran thought for a while before calling. Fast turned up his {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a rivered set. Kamran mucked, but the dealer reveals his hand as it was an all in and call, showing {A-}{Q-} for top pair.

With that, Fast doubled back over the starting stack while Kamran dropped just under.

Shak bet 100,000 and Schwartz lined up a raise to 280,000. Shak threw his hands up in the air and leaned back in his seat. Two time extensions later, Shak finally sent his cards to the muck and Schwartz raked in the pot.
