Pocket Aces Help Sternberg Make Huge Comeback
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Jason Sternberg opened in early position for 950,000. The action folded to Alejandro Perez in the hijack who three-bet jammed all in for approximately 10,000,000 covering Sternberg. With the remaining players left to act all folding, it was up to Sternberg to make a decision for his tournament life. Flicking in one chip for a call, it transpired he was on the right side of a cooler.
Jason Sternberg: A?A?
Alejandro Perez: A?K?
The board ran out Q?4?7?K?4? propelling Sternberg to over twenty million chips having come back from only 700,000 chips not long before the dinner break.
Perez left with just over one big blind, bust a few hands later.
