Stacks Holding Steady

Alan Sternberg limped in on the button and Evangelos Kokkalis raised the pot to 720,000. Sternberg called and the flop came {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}.

Kokkalis led out for 600,000 and Sternberg announced a pot-sized raise to 3,200,000 — nearly all of his chips. Kokkalis sighed and dispatched his cards to the muck, knowing he could not continue any further.
