Steicke Takes One From McDonald

[user67765]

Mike "Timex" McDonald raised it up to 5,500 from under the gun and David Steicke once again defended his small blind with a call.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{9-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

and Steicke led out with a bet of 5,000. McDonald made the call. The turn was the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and Steicke fired a healthy 20,000. McDonald called once more. The river brought the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

and Steicke bet out another 20,000. McDonald called with {A-?}

{A-?}

{10-?}

for top pair, top kicker, but Steicke held the best hand with his {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

.

Andrew Scott summed it up best when he said "Steicke you can do no wrong!" as Steicke now holds about 270,000 chips. McDonald is now one of the short stacks with 42,000.
