by Court on 08.27.09, 12:01 am
For Sam Stein (left) getting it in drawing thin was no problem but when his chips went in where he was in a coinflip situation his luck ran out. November Niner Kevin Schaffel opened for 150k and Stein moved all in for around 750k. After a brief pause Schaffel made the call and the cards were squared up in front of the dealer.
Stein: K
Q
Schaffel: 77
With the red lights shining the board ran out 87
322 and Sam Stein (left) was eliminated in 5th place for $116,225.
The next hand the other short stack was all in, also against Kevin Schaffel. Kevin had opened for 150k again and Toto Leonidas (right) moved all in for 700k. Schaffel made the call and this time he was going to have to catch up to eliminate a player.
Leonidas: KK
Schaffel: TT
Board: J3244
After the double up Toto is still the short stack but with 1.5 million chips he has almost caught up with Todd “tbt4653″ Terry who has around 1.6 million. Even after doubling Toto, Schaffel still holds the chip lead with 2.8 million and Prahlad Friedman is just behind him sitting with 2.5 million.
