Steicke Drops Some
Level 8
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
With more than $3.4 million winnings in live tournaments, David Steicke is one of the biggest names in today's field and sits next to Bryan Huang. The Australian already entered a few levels ago but didn't have any major action yet.
That just changed when he bet the 
flop and eventually called the shove of a short-stack for 18,600 in chips with 
for top pair and a gutshot. The opponent held the 
and didn't want to improve to a set anymore once the 
fell on the turn. However, the 
river didn't help Steicke and he fell below starting stack.
