Stepuchin Finds a Double

Ollie Garland

Niveau 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Frank Stepuchin raised to 100,000 from under the gun and Kevin Nathan defended in the big blind.

The 8♣7♥Q♠ flop saw Nathan play out of flow, jamming for Stepuchin's effective stack of 380,000. Stepuchin called.

Kevin Nathan: K♣Q♦ All in
Frank Stepuchin: 9♦8♠

The 3♣ turn and 3♥ river changed nothing and Nathan's superior pair held to double him up.
