[user76079]

Samuel Stein has moved up to a chip-lead extending 145,000 after eliminating Ross Boatman. Karl Mahrenholz opened with a 2,400 raise from early position that was called by Barry Greenstein before Boatman three-bet to 11,100. Stein made a quick call from the BB but the other two folded.

The flop came {8-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} and Stein set his opponent all in. Boatman snap-called with {4-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {a-Hearts} {a-Clubs} for a set and was up against the drawing {q-Hearts} {j-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {8-Spades} . The turn came {6-Diamonds} and river {7-Diamonds} to make Stein’s straight. Boatman shook hands and wished everyone well before making a hasty exit.
