Aces No Good for Sternberg

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 0 ante
Alan Sternberg
Alan Sternberg

There was a massive pot brewing between Ruslan Nazarenko from under the gun and defending champ Alan Sternberg from the small blind.

All of Sternberg's chips went into the middle after a {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} flop and Nazarenko called.

Alan Sternberg: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Ruslan Nazarenko: {j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}

Sternberg held a pair of aces but was out-flopped by Nazarenko holding two-pair.

Neither the {q-Clubs} turn nor the {4-Hearts} river changed a thing and Sternberg reentered the tournament shortly after.
