Steicke Wins Big Pot from Tran

[user67765]

Steicke power

JC Tran limped from the small blind and David Steicke raised to 43,000 in the big blind. Tran made the call.

They saw a flop of {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

and Tran checked to Steicke who fired 50,000. Tran made the call. The turn was a repeat {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

and Tran checked once again. Steicke fired 100,000 before Tran check-raised to 200,000. Steicke snap-called as a massive pot was brewing.

The river was the {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

and both players checked it down. Tran reluctantly revealed {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

for fives and eights but Steicke had it with his {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

for queens and eights.
