Sternheimer Gets Paid by Merron, Has Eye on Fantasy
Level 21
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Big O
Philip Sternheimer and Kyle Merron both put in around 50,000 heading to the river on a board of 3♠9♦A♠K♦3♥. Sternheimer then assembled a tower of yellow 1,000 chips and pushed it in the middle, a bet of 60,000.
Merron tanked for about a minute before he called. Sternheimer turned over K♣J♦4♥3♦2♣ for a full house and Merron mucked the big pot.
After the hand, Sternheimer checked to see who was left in the field. "We all pick players at the end of Day 1," ticking off the names on his fantasy team.
"Who picked me," tablemate Yuval Bronshtein asked.
