We walked up to the table just in time to see 2010 November Niner Joseph Cheong move all in for his last 1,025 on a board that had completed . The pot had about 1,300 in it, and Cheong had already cashed in both his lammers, so this move was for his tournament life. His opponent tanked for over a minute before giving up on the hand, and Cheong collected some much needed chips.
We had perfect timing, as we walked up just as the cards were being tabled in an all-in preflop confrontation between David Steicke and recent bracelet winner Josh Pollock.
Pollock:
Steicke:
Steicke was the one who was all in on his first lammer, and he secured the double up after the board ran down , giving Steicke a full house. Pollock is still plenty fine with 4,400 and both lammers left to cash, while Steicke is also doing well for himself, with 3,800, and both lammers as well.
