Stein Searching For Another Bracelet

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Sam Stein is one of several players who is having a fantastic 2011 World Series. He already has a 3rd place showing in the $10,000 PLO Championship, and a bracelet in the $3,000 PLO event two weeks ago. Stein is currently 3rd in the player of the year race, and is looking to increase that standing in this tournament, where he has just claimed an early knockout. Iulian Iacob went all-in in late position for 13,000, and Stein was the only caller. The players flipped their cards, and Stein had Iacob crushed.

Stein: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Iacob: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The flop provided Iacob no help, coming {8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades}. The turn came the {9-Hearts}, and the river brought an unnecessary pair for Stein, as it came the {k-Clubs}. Stein won the pot, boosting his stack up to 34,000.
