Sternheimer Triples Up

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

With about 480,000 in the pot on a flop of 4♣A♠Q♠, Venkat Chivukula checked from the small blind and Philip Sternheimer checked from the big blind with 20,000 left in his stack. Yuri Dzivielevski knuckled it back from the button, and the 6♣ joined on the turn.

Chivukula bet the minimum of 25,000, and Sternheimer called for the last of his chips. Dzivielevski raised it to 350,000, which got Chivukula to fold.

Philip Sternheimer: A♦Q♦9♥2♥ All in
Yuri Dzivielevski: A♥6♥4♦3♦

Sternheimer had Dzivielevski in rough shape with the higher two-pair, and nothing changed when the 3♥ completed the board, meaning Sternheimer survived and tripled up.
