Linaras Busts Usher
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Alfie Usher moved his last 11,000 in blind under the gun. and was called by Jonas Stechbarth, Sokratis Linaras, and Guy Holtzman, while Salvatore Camarda and Martin Stausholm also came along for the ride in the blinds. Usher wasn't sure whether to be pleased or not with the action he received.
On the J♥J♠3♠ flop, Stechbarth led out with a bet of 21,000, only to be met with a raise to 65,000 by Linaras. That forced out the other opponents, with action folded back to Stechbarth. After some thought, he sighed and folded.
Alfie Usher: K♥7♣ 
Sokratis Linaras: J♣9♣
Usher was drawing dead versus Linaras's trip jacks, and the 3♦4♥ turn and river completed the board.
