Level 9
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Michael Stephenson had a bet of 38,000 in front of him on a 
board, and Tim Flanders had jammed for 138,000. Stephenson said, "I have to call," before putting in the chips.
Tim Flanders: 
Michael Stephenson: 
Both players had Broadway, but much to the chagrin of Stephenson, he was also being freerolled by the nut flush draw of Flanders. The 
river bricked off, and they chopped the pot, much to the relief of Stephenson.
