Steicke Sticks It to His Table

David Steicke has been busy pushing his stack around today. After the under-the-gun player opened with a raise to 700 and one person called, Steicke deliberated his action from the big blind, calmly shuffling chips the whole time. His decision was to push all in for 8,400. Neither of his opponents had the stomach for that kind of bet. They both quickly folded.

"Good bet, good bet," one person said to Steicke as he collected the pot.
