Sternheimer Puts it in Against the Champ
Level 19
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
With one of the shortest stacks remaining, Philip Sternheimer moved all in for a bit over 600,000 over an early position raise from Dan Cates to 80,000.
With television cameras nearby and Cates standing to ponder his decision, the rail and his tablemates were eager to see if the defending champion would try to eliminate another opponent.
Ultimately after a couple of minutes of deliberation, Cates opted to fold, sending a small pot to Sternheimer.
