Defending Champ Chops One

Brett Slezak

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Defending champion of the event Philip Sternheimer has recently taken his seat, and he has taken little time to get into the mix.

Action picked up on the A♥3♥3♦ flop with over 11,000 in the middle preflop. Philip Sternheimer bet 3,800 from the small blind, Naseem Salem called in the big blind, and Frederic Normand folded under the gun,

On the 2♦ turn, Sternheimer bet 12,000. Salem would then jam, and Sternheimer snap-called.

Naseem Salem: K♦5♥4♦2♥ All in
Philip Sternheimer: A♠A♣7♠4♠

Salem had a wheel for the low and Sternheimer held aces full, and the 7♦ river meant that Salem secured half the pot.
