Sternberg Out Kicks Loosli for Double

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Alan Sternberg
Alan Sternberg

Alan Sternberg was all in preflop from the small blind for 225,000 and was called by Sylvain Loosli from the button.

Alan Sternberg: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Sylvain Loosli: {a-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Sternberg was ahead holding a better kicker and nothing changed after the {6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop.

The {q-Hearts} turn did give Sternberg a little sweat as it paired the board bringing possible chop outs, but the board completed with the {3-Diamonds} on the river and secured his double-up.

On the {10-Spades} turn both players checked to see the {6-Clubs} on the river. Rosen put in a bet of 85,000, which was good enough to force Petkov out of the pot.
