Monster Three-Way All-In Pot Sees Steinberg Take Over Chip Lead

Chad Holloway

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Jonathan Hilton opened the action for 40,000 under the gun and received a call from Robert Panitch in the cutoff. Joe Tehan then three-bet all in for 319,000. Max Steinberg then called off for 248,000 from the small blind, Hilton folded and Panitch thought for about 45 seconds before calling to put both players at risk.

Panitch:
Steinberg:
Tehan:

The crowd and pretty much all of the players were on their feet in anticipation of the monster hand. Panitch's supporters were calling for an ace and to use his "one time," while Tehan watched the action with his hands on his head. After the dealer squared away the various pots, he burned and put out the flop ... .

Steinberg came from behind to flop a set and was a heavy favorite to more than triple. Panitch's supporters then began calling for a king to give their man Broadway, but that was unlikely considering Tehan held two of them. The turn opened up some more options for Panitch to score the double elimination as a nine would also give him a straight, but the river was no help to him.

Steinberg's set held to give him a huge triple, while Tehan took down the side pot of 142,000.
