Steiner Busts Two
Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
We found Joshua Steiner in the small blind, calling the all-in shove of a player with 230,000 on the button. A player under the gun who initially raised to 60,000 then jammed for 1 million total. After getting the count and thinking for a bit, Steiner pushed in the calling chips.

The 
flop improved nobody, but an 
turn gave Steiner a hammerlock on things. The river was a blank.
