Chip Average: 248,000
Samuel Sternfield was in a very unenvious position moments ago, as he got his remaining chips in on a flop of 7♣ Q♣ J♣. Samuel was up against top two pair (Q♠ J♥), but he was holding a lot of equity with K♣ 10♠. The turn would be exactly what Sternfield was looking for (A♣), and he would only need to fade his opponent making a full house...which is exactly what happened on the river.
The look on Samuel's face was exactly what you would think, as he just had the rug pulled out from under him on the stone bubble of this event. His dejection would turn into relief though, as he found out that one other player busted on the same hand, allowing him then to split 90th place money. We should see a flurry of eliminations from the short stacks over the next level or so, and the stacks become a little deeper across the field as we enter the "meat" of this event.
