Hand #59 - David Paul Steicke Doubles Up

David Paul Steicke
David Paul Steicke
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}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Steicke shoves his last 19,000 into the middle; Emad makes the call.

Tahtouh: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Steicke: {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}

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} and Steicke completed his flush, effectively doubling up to just over 130,000 in chips.
