Stephen Press (New York, NY)

Stephen Press's (New York, NY) day was definitely a roller coaster, with his stack fluctuating frequently over the four hours of play today.  Just after Valdez was eliminated, the dealer would announce, "all-in and a call," with Press at risk against Michael Jelaso:

Board: A♦ 5♣ 6♠ 3♦

Press: 5♠ 6♦
Jelaso: A♥ 4♣

River: 3♥

Jelaso would be behind when the chips got in on the turn, but he'd have outs to a better two pair or a straight...or if the board paired threes and counterfeited Press's two pair.  Press was in shock when the dealer pushed up the winning board, expressing how bad of a river that was.  Jelaso assumes the chip lead with that pot, chipping up to 11,500,000.
