Steindel Thinks Long and Thinks Wrong
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Daniel Holzner and Christian Steindel each had 3,000 in front of them from the small blind and big blind respectively. They were faced with a preflop shove for 19,800 from Vladislav Dubanov in the hijack. Holzner folded, before Steindel went into the tank.
After a few minutes, a player at the table called the clock. About 10 seconds later, Steindel called with a covering stack to put Dubanov at risk.
Vladislav Dubanov: J♠J♥ 
Christian Steindel: 8♠8♣
Steindel's pocket eights were dominated, and he was unable to improve on the 6♦9♠3♥A♥4♣ runout, resulting in a double up for Dubanov.
