Steicke Doubles Up

We're not sure exactly how David Steicke found himself with only 13,000 chips but they all went in the middle preflop against Rasmus Akerblom. Steicke had pocket kings {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} and needed to dodge Akerblom's ace, {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}. It was Steicke making a set on the {6-Hearts} {k-Spades} {10-Hearts} flop and then successfully sweating the {9-Diamonds} turn and the {Q-Spades} river.

"Did he just get there?" Steicke asked, not clear on the result of the hand. He was answered when the dealer started counting out 13,000 chips from Akerblom's stack to push to Steicke.

"You like the king on the flop," said Grant Levy. "The ten, not so much."

Steicke is up to 26,000. Akerblom falls to about 11,000.
