Stein Sinks Walsh

Level 21 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Following a middle position open, Thomas Walsh and Z Stein got into a raising war from late position that persuaded the blinds and original raiser to get out. The battle between Walsh and Stein — whose legal first name is indeed "Z" by the way — resulted with Walsh all in for about 145,000 and the players quizzing each other about their hands before they showed.

Walsh asked "Do you have aces?" Hearing that question, Stein replied not with an answer, but with a speculative statement about Walsh's hand: "You must have kings."

Stein then turned over his hand, showing {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}, then was pleasantly surprised to see Walsh turn over {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}.

The board came {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, then {2-Spades}, then {10-Spades}, and Walsh is out in 40th. Mazen Nesheiwat soon followed Walsh to the cashier's desk in 39th, with both players earning $3,606 for their finishes.
