David Steicke Eliminated in 7th Place (AU$450,000)
Level 19
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Erik Seidel doubled through David Steicke to crippled him, and now he's delivered the fatal blow.
It happened when Steicke got his short stack all in preflop and Seidel called him.
Seidel: 
Steicke: 
Steicke was in a bad spot, and it got much worse when the 
flop gave Seidel a full house. Steicke needed either running jacks or kings to survive, but that long shot didn't come in as the 
appeared on the turn followed by the 
river.
With that, Steicke's hopes of repeating as champion of the $100,000 Challenge came to an end.
