Steicke Mowin' 'em Down

David Steicke
David Steicke
David Steicke is known for playing a wide range of hands, and playing them creatively. The thing that best allows a player to do that is a large chip stack. Steicke has that now after eliminating yet another player from the Table of Death.

Steicke acted first on a {3-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {4-Clubs} flop. He bet 2,200. His opponent studied the board, studied Steicke and then raised to 6,500. Mr. Steicke was undeterred.

"I'm all in," he said, waving his hands over his chips twice. The effective raise back to Steicke's opponent was the remainder of that player's stack, about 15,000 total. He opted to call.

Steicke: {9-Hearts} {9-Spades}
Opponent: {6-Hearts} {6-Spades}

Steicke's opponent was dismayed to see that he was far, far behind. He bricked the turn and river, {7-Clubs} and {j-Spades}, and reported to the rail. Steicke stacked up the pot, increasing his count to 90,000.

"David, take it easy mate," called Eric Assadourian from a neighboring table. "You're scaring everyone off!"
