Event 1: Marc Stein Doubles Near the Bubble

$360 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 18: 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000 ante
Players Remaining: 252 of 2,570

With a raise and a call in front of him, the player in the small blind moved all in for just over 100,000 total, and Marc Stein called all in for 97,000 from the big blind.

Small blind: 9s9h
Stein: KdKh

The player on the button said he folded the other two nines, so the small blind needed something other than a set to survive. The board ran out AhQs5s2d6c, though, and Stein’s kings held to earn him the double-up.

Marc Stein – 230,000 (38 bb)
