Stenberg Doubles; Nguyen Busts
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Max Stenberg managed to get his last 48,000 into the middle against Manh Nguyen. Nguyen only had slightly more chips than Stenberg, so this pot was crucial for both players.
Max Stenberg: A♠K♣7♣2♦ 
Manh Nguyen : A♣A♥K♠3♦
Stenberg was behind to the pocket aces of Nguyen heading to the 9♦7♦10♠ flop. The Q♠ appeared on the turn and Stenberg was one card away from elimination. However, the river was the 7♠ to give Stenberg trip sevens, and he doubled up through Nguyen.
Nguyen was unable to spin up his short-stack and was eliminated a few hands later.
