Stewart Falls to Santa Maria
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
In a preflop confrontation Michael Stewart found himself all in and at risk from middle position against EAPT Barcelona champion Fernando Santa Maria who held a covering stack.
Michael Stewart: A?3?
Fernando Santa Maria: A?Q?
Stewart was dominated by a bigger ace but took the lead on the 6?4?3? flop. Santa Maria reclaimed the lead on the Q? turn but still had to fade Stewart who had picked up the nut-flush draw. The 7? river was a brick and Stewart made his exit from the tournament area while Santa Maria collected the last of his chips.
