Battle of the Small Pocket Pairs

Action folded to Sam Stein on the button and he raised to 34,000. The small blind got out of the way, but Eric Cloutier potted from the big blind. Stein repotted, Cloutier called off for his last 89,000, and the cards were turned on their back.

Stein: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Cloutier: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

It was small-pocket pair vs. small-pocket pair with Cloutier being on top. The board ran out {9-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{K-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Cloutier booked himself a double.
