Sternheimer Doubles Through Sturm
Level 13
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
In another preflop all in confrontation, Leon Sturm had Philip Sternheimer all in and at risk for his tournament life two away from the money.
Philip Sternheimer: A♠A♣
Leon Sturm: A♦3♦
Sternheimer was well ahead with pocket rockets but the 5♦10♦10♥ flop gave Sturm many outs to eliminate his opponent. Luckily for Sternheimer the turn came the 6♣ and the river came the 6♥ allowing him to receive a full double up at the expense of Sturm.
