Sternheimer Finds Lucky Jack To Stay Alive
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Christopher Chaudey opened to 2,400 from under the gun and it folded to Philip Sternheimer in the cutoff who three-bet to 5,400. The rest of the table got out of the way and Chaudey moved all in, covering the 23,700 remaining for Sternheimer, who went deep in the tank. After close to a minute, Sternheimer made the call for his tournament life and the cards were shown.
Philip Sternheimer: A♦J♠
Christopher Chaudey: A♥Q♠
Sternheimer was in need of help against the better kicker for Chaudey, and when the board ran out 7♦4♦3♣J♦A♠, it was the turned jack that saved the day for Sternheimer to score a full double up and leave Chaudey short.
