Lew Moving Up, Coren and Steinberg Moving Out

Event 33: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em winner Max Steinberg is no longer in his seat, so we have to assume he has been eliminated. Victoria Coren joins him on the rail as her seat was empty as well.

We found ourselves at Randy Lew's table with a flop reading {4-Spades}{Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Lew's opponent bet out 1,600 and Lew raised it to 2,700. Lew's opponent took his time, draining the clock of a minute or so before making a raise of about 5,000. The short stacked Lew quickly threw in his remaining 4,500 and cards were tabled.

Lew: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{2-Diamonds}

Only an ace would send Lew home. The {10-Hearts} on the river further secured the hand in Lew's favor, and the {2-Diamonds} on the river guaranteed it.
