$1,100 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 14: 1,200/2,400 with a 400 ante
Players: 153 of 828 players remaining

Matt Stout raised to 6,000 from middle position and was soon met by an all-in three-bet for 44,600 from Nikolai Sears in the small blind. Stout made a quick call and discovered the bad news.

Stout: 10s10c
Sears: AhAs

Stout was looking for a ten, and he found one on the Kd3h10d[flop]. The 5c turn meant Sears could only survive with an ace on the river, and he got it as the Ac spiked!

Stout was left with just 11,000 after the hand, which he moved all in under the gun the very next hand holding the AsKc. He received a call from a player holding the 8s8h, and Stout managed to win the flip after the board ran out 2c10hAcKh3s.

Nikolai Sears – 90,000
Matt Stout – 25,000
