Event 14 (Day 3): Looking To Make It "Stein-Time"

"Battles At The Beach"
Event 14 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event $500,000 GTD)
Level 23 (Blinds 10,000/20,000/3,000)
Total Entries: 482
Players Remaining: 18
Chip Average: 803,000

Coming into the day the shortest stack, Marcus Stein was looking for an early spot to double up.  After players folded around to Marcus in the small blind, he'd shove for 186,000, only needing to get through John Pappas.  Papps quickly called though, and Stein would be at risk:

Stein: A♠ 5
Pappas: A♣ K♠

Board: 7♠ 6 4♠ K 3

Stein flopped extra equity with a open-ended straight draw, but lost outs after the king on the turn.  Marcus made his straight on the river though, leaving Pappas with less than (10) bigs.

Marcus Stein - 410,000
John Pappas - 150,000
