Action folded to Stefan Stroffek, who min-raised to 8,000 from the Button. After a minute’s worth of consideration, Thomas Howell moved all in for perhaps 85,000 from the Big Blind. Stroffek made the call as fast as humanly possible.
Thomas Howell: A♥7♥
Stefan Stroffek: Q♦Q♣
Howell’s ace was alive, but his chances of winning the hand were drastically reduced on the J♦5♠Q♥ flop. The 8♣10♥ didn’t change anything, and Howell’s farewell meant only 15 players now remain in the tournament.
Stefan Stroffek: 355,000
Thomas Howell: 0
