Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Limits: 250,000-875,000
Bruno Furth opened the button to 650,000 and Philip Sternheimer, still stacking his chips and gathering his bearings, eventually put in the call after a sip of his Starbucks.
The K♠8♠7♦ flop checked through to the A♦ turn which saw Sternheimer check again. Furth bet 600,000, Sternheimer raised to 1,750,000, Furth potted, Sternheimer raised, and Furth was all-in for 7,950,000.
Bruno Furth: A♣J♥5♦3♥ 
Philip Sternheimer: 9♦6♠3♦2♣
Sternheimer was free-rolling with the nut low, a flush draw, and an open ender. The river was the 4♠ and the pot was chopped.
