Down and Up for Sternheimer

Level 18

Limit Hold'em

David Benyamine doubled through Philip Sternheimer and the Brit then defended the {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop against Roland Israelashvili with a check-call. The {4-Clubs} turn was checked by both, and Sternheimer check-raised the {a-Hearts} river. Israelashvili called but mucked when he was shown {j-Spades}{8-Hearts} for a flopped straight.

Sternheimer then chopped a pot with Matt Glantz when both made the top pair on a {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{9-Spades} board. Sternheimer had the {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Glantz chopped with {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} when they checked down the river.

Nick Guagenti: {x-}{x-} / {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} fold
