Sternfield Wins With an Eight
Level 18
Samuel Sternfield raised from the cutoff and was three-bet by Yueqi Zhu in the small blind. Timothy Knauf called cold in the big blind and Sternfield called as well.
Zhu drew two, Knauf drew one and Sternfield drew three on the first draw and then Zhu bet. Both players called.
Zhu drew one, Knauf drew two, and Sternfield drew one on the second draw and Zhu bet again, which both players called.
Zhu stood pat on the final draw, Knauf drew one, and Sternfield drew two. Zhu checked to Knauf, who bet. Sternfield called and Zhu made a reluctant fold.
Knauf announced he had a pair and Sternfield fanned out 8x7x6x3x2x for an eight. Knauf mucked and Sternfield took down the pot.
