Perfect River for Mayer, Terrible One for Steinbrenner
Level 2
: Blinds 400/600, 600 ante
Thomas Alfred Mayer made it 1,500 under the gun with Justin Steinbrenner calling from the small blind, and Seref Anar defending his big blind.
After two checks on the 10♣2♥7♣ flop, Mayer placed out a continuation-bet of 3,500. Steinbrenner and Anar called.
The 4♥ turn checked through to see the 9♦ roll off on the river. Steinbrenner bet 7,500 with Anar calling, but Mayer raised to put both of his opponents' all in. Steinbrenner had roughly 35,000 remaining in his stack, and after using a few time banks, made the call.
Anar folded, and Mayer turned over 9♥9♣ for a rivered set of nines. Steinbrenner couldn't beat it with his K♥10♥ and all of his chips headed over to Mayer.
