Steele Growing Stronger; Eliminates Sayers

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Pat Steele
Pat Steele

Pat Steele raised to 11,000 from the hijack and Tracy Sibon called in the small blind. In the big blind, Phil Sayers moved all in for 30,000 to see both Steele and Sibon call.

The flop rolled out 1054 and action checked to the turn J where Steele called the 30,000 bet from Sibon.

Sibon checked the river 5 to Steele who bet 38,000 and Sibon called.

Phil Sayers: AK
Tracy Sibon: 109
Pat Steele: QJ

Steele's jacks and fives were good for the pot and the MSPT hall of famer took down the pot to overtake the chip lead.

At another table Kamiran Taymour was eliminated.
