Big Stacks Battling
Level 15
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Near the top of the Day 1a entrants was Germany's Steven Stephan, who has been mounting chips throughout the first three hours of Day 2, along with his table-mate Janathan Klüpfel. We caught up with one hand where the duo battled it out with about 15,000 already in the pot, Klüpfel led the action on a flop to 9,000 and called Stephan's raise to 19,000. Klüpfel checked when the hit the turn, and folded to Stephan's bet of 32k.
The following hand Stephan was joking around with the dealer when he accidentally exposed an that should have been part of Stephan's hand. Before folding pre-flop, he smiled and told the table, "My hand is better now."
