Event 20: 4th - Saltiel

$1500 + $150 NL

Alan Sternberg open-shoved his big stack from the small blind and Gordon Eng insta-called all-in for 355k from the big. Alan's pocket 2s were crushed by Gordon's pocket 4s. The board ran out K T 4 6 T and Gordon doubled up to ~720k.

A lot of time passed as they were pushing chips around the table, then it happened quickly:

Robert Saltiel opened for 51k, then Alan raised to 121k from the button. When action returned to Robert, he announced all-in Alan snap-called, showing AK off. Robert held AQ of hearts and was dominated. The flop came K 9 2 with two hearts, giving Alan a pair of Kings, but giving Robert the flush draw. The last two were offsuit J K though and Alan took the pot. Robert finished in 4th place, taking home $16,500.

Robert Saltiel - 4th place

With that pot, Alan chipped up to ~2.26 million. Gordon has about 606k and Sirous has about 380k.

That was also the last hand of the level. The final three are taking ten.
