Hand #60 - David Paul Steicke

Eric Assadourian has the button in seat 6. Emad Tahtouh limps into the pot from under the gun and Tony Ng completes the bet from the small blind; David Paul Steicke checks his option in the big blind.

The flop comes {5-Diamonds}

and Tony Ng leads out with a 12,000 bet. Steicke then min-raises to 24,000 - a bet that sent Emad Tahtouh into the tank. Emad eventually laid it down, as did Tony Ng and Steicke raked the pot.

Bo Sehlstedt has the button in seat 4. David Paul Steicke opened the pot with a min-raise from under the gun, making it 12,000 to go. Next to act is Emad Tahtouh who re-raises to 35,000. The action folds back around to Steicke who makes the call, leaving himself 19,000 behind.

The flop comes {4-Spades}

and Steicke shoves his last 19,000 into the middle; Emad makes the call.

Tahtouh: {Q-Hearts}

Emad took a page from 2005 WSOP Champ Joe Hachem's book, retreating to a seat in the audience to sweat the last two cards, and sweat he did . . .

The {J-Spades}

popped off on the turn, giving Steicke nine additional outs to a flush on the turn, meaning he needed to catch a spade or an ace on the river to stay alive. The river - the {3-Spades}
