Sternheimer Gets Quartered
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Limits: 200,000-700,000
Philip Sternheimer and Bruno Furth got all of their chips into the middle, with Sternheimer being the one at risk.
Philip Sternheimer: A♦Q♦J♣4♦ 
Bruno Furth: A♥Q♣J♠5♠
Furth had the chance to send the tournament into heads-up if he could get a favorable runout from the dealer. The board came 8♦A♣7♦Q♠4♠ to give both players the same high, but the river card meant Furth hit a low and earned three-quarters of the pot.
