James Obst raised to 2,400 on the button and was called by Philip Sternheimer and Jesse Lonis in the blinds.
The flop came 7♣J♠9♣ and Lonis bet 4,200. Obst and Sternheimer called to the Q♠ turn, where Lonis bet another 20,000. Obst folded this time, while Sternheimer called.
The river was the 7♠ and Sternheimer bet 37,000, leaving himself one 500 chip behind. "It would be so sick if you rivered me," Lonis said as he tanked for several minutes. Sternheimer lowered his head with his eyes closed while Lonis continued to agonize over the decision. He eventually folded, and Sternheimer took the pot.
