Wei Becomes the Goliath
There is a new king of the castle here at the 2011 APPT Macau Main Event and not only has Victor Wei surpassed Davd Steicke as the leader, but Wei's new found chips have come directly from Steicke's stack.
We caught the action with a flop showing and one player checking before Wei also checked to Steicke. At this point Steicke led for 31,500. The other player got out of the way, while Wei check-raised to 64,000. Steicked made the call as the
landed on the turn.
Wei again checked and Steicke again led, this time for 200,00. Wei then check-raised all in and Steicke looked a little anguished as he contemplated his call. After a few moments Steicke announced the call.
Wei turned over confidently and Steicke found that he was drawing dead as he tabled
. The meaningless river changed nothing and Steicke took the big hit as Wei becomes the new chip leader!
