Sternheimer Grows Lead
Level 15
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Philip Sternheimer raised as first to act to 60,000 chips and was called by Boris Kolev in the cutoff. Sternheimer placed a bet of 65,000 on the 8♦J♣4♠ flop and was once again called by the Bulgarian.
On the 2♣ turn, both players checked before Sternheimer piled in 200,000 chips on the 8♥ river. Kolev spent a few time extensions before tossing in the call.
Sternheimer showed down K♠K♥ for two pair, kings and eights, and took down the pot as Kolev's cards flew into the muck.
