Max Steinberg started his second round match against Ariel Celestino with a roughly 30,000-chip advantage. The Brazilian quickly took the lead away from the American, but Steinberg has since doubled.
Steinberg raised to 6,000 on the button, Celestino three-bet to 19,000, and Steinberg four-bet to 43,000. Celestino made it five bets, sliding forward 77,500, and Steinberg six-bet shoved for 201,000. Celestino called.
Steinberg: 
Celestino: 
"Ace!" the Brazilians on the rail yelled. "Ace!"
The flop fell 
, giving Celestino a pair of aces, but Steinberg held the only club, and pointed to it as he shot a look at the rail. The turn was not a club, but the case queen (
) spiked onto the felt to give Steinberg a set of queens. Celestino was drawing to one of the two remaining aces in the deck, and Steinberg successfully doubled when the 
bricked off on the river.
