Sternberg Doubles Through Howeth

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Big O

Alan Sternberg was all in preflop, and Shane Howeth was happy to call.

Alan Sternberg: {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Shane Howeth: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Board: {3-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Sternberg flopped quads much to the surprise of the table and by the river had completed the vital double up.

Howeth, who not too long ago was playing over 1,000,000, was reduced to 250,000.

Zhu Hanging in There

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Yueqi Zhu was in the big blind, calling a raise from James Van Alstyne.

Zhu led out on the {7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop, Van Alstyne called and the rest of Zhu's chips went in on the {k-Diamonds} turn. Van Alstyne called but Zhu held {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts} and he prevailed against {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} as the river didn't hit any of Van Alstyne's draws.
