Legendary?

We've seen David Steicke make some impressive calls in his brief time on the circuit. The call he just made might not rank in the Top 5, but that's only because he's made so many legendary calls.

As near as we can piece together, a player opened the pot from the cutoff. Action passed to Steicke in the big blind, who put in a re-raise to 7,600 total. The cutoff responded by moving all in.

Steicke asked for a count. The dealer pulled 7,600 from each player and then counted down an additional 22,900. Steicke went into his soul-reading mode. Then, without much fanfare, he called for about half of his stack.

Steicke: {9-Diamonds}

Cutoff:

Steicke was in great shape -- even better when the board rolled out no help for the cutoff, {10-Diamonds}

. He was gone as Steicke raked in another pot to climb to about 90,000 in chips.

"Nice call," said a shocked Wooka Kim with a laugh.

"What did he have, eights or something?" replied Steicke. "What am I gonna do?"

Then he seemed to be addressing the table when he added, "What did I tell you about him? I can't take any more of that." It was a cryptic remark (for us) that went unanswered by the rest of the table.
