Sternheimer Spikes the River to Leave Deeb with Crumbs
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Limits: 200,000-700,000
Philip Sternheimer limped the button, Bruno Furth limped the small blind, and Shaun Deeb potted the big blind to 800,000. Sternheimer then repotted to 2,600,000, Furth folded, and Deeb called.
On the 10♦6♣2♥ flop, Deeb checked, Sternheimer moved all-in for 4,900,000, and Deeb called.
Philip Sternheimer: A♣J♥4♣3♠ 
Shaun Deeb: A♥10♥8♠4♠
"We need to fade a jack and a low draw," Deeb yelled to his rail, while a five would also work for Sternheimer.
The K♣ turn was safe for Deeb as heads-up play was one card away. However, the Q♥ landed on the river to give Sternheimer broadway as he scooped to stay alive and leave Deeb on fumes.
