Hanson Gets There, then Sternheimer Does
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
On a flop of 10♣7♦2♦, Bart Hanson got his final 53,000 or so into the middle from the big blind, at risk against Philip Sternheimer from under the gun.
Bart Hanson: A♦K♣Q♦7♣
Philip Sternheimer: A♠9♣2♥2♣
Hanson held the nut flush draw against Sternheimer's bottom set, and neither player held an immediate low draw.
The 8♦ turn completed Hanson's flush, vaulting him into the lead. It was short-lived, however, as the 8♥ peeled off on the river, giving Sternheimer a full house as the defending champion eliminated Hanson.
