Sternheimer Off to a Good Start

Level 7
Philip Sternheimer
Philip Sternheimer

Seven Card Stud

Esther Taylor: XxXx / K folded on third street
Calvin Anderson: XxXx / 57 folded on fourth street
Philip Sternheimer: XxXx / QQA3 / Xx
Brian Battistone: XxXx / 86103 / Xx

Esther Taylor limped in and so did Calvin Anderson one seat over. Philip Sternheimer then completed and Brian Battistone made it three bets. Taylor folded whereas Anderson called, and Sternheimer came along.

On fourth street, Sternheimer paired his queen and bet, only Battistone called. The betting action repeated on the next two streets before they checked down seventh. Sternheimer showed his Q87 for a set of queens and Battistone mucked 88J for an inferior set of eights.
