Stembera's Check-Raise Gets The Job Done
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Cliff Ziff opened the action to 210,000 in middle position and both Michael Stembera and Zachary Donovan made the call in the blinds.
The flop fanned out 
and Stembera and Donovan checked over to Ziff who continued for 325,000. Stembera elected on a check-raise to 800,000 and Donovan quickly got out of the way. Ziff took some more time to assess the situation, but in the end made the fold and Stembera scored the pot.
