Big Slick Does the Trick for Steele

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Mark Sandness opened for 5,500 and received a call from the player on the button. Pat Steele, who had a massive stack, then three-bet all in from the small blind. The player in the big called off for roughly 50,000, and Sandness agonized before folding what he claimed was pocket jacks. The button did the same — claiming he had {9-}{9-} — and the cards were turned up.

Steele: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

It was a flip, and the coin came down in Steele's favor on the {q-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} flop. Neither the {7-Spades} turn nor {Q-Spades} river helped the big blind, and Steele took down the pot to chip up to 320,000.

Steele went on to double Larry Ormson a few hands later, which dropped him back below 300K.
