Table Gets a Stern Warning
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
After seeing a raise from Gregg Rothberg in the hijack to 34,000, James Stern responded with a three-bet to 115,000 out of the small blind.
Action folded back to Rothberg, who took a moment to consider his options, but ultimately chose to fold his cards.
The very next shuffle, action folded to Stern on the button, who kept his foot on the accelerator. After cutting out some chips, he wagered 40,000, and both blinds quickly got out of the way.
A fast start by Stern as he showed his tablemates he isn't just here to make up the numbers.
