Steinbrenner Forced to Settle For a Chop on the River
Level 25
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
In a limped pot, Nino Pansier led out for 375,000 on the 5♣3♣2♠ flop and Justin Steinbrenner raised to 1,875,000. Pansier called, and the K♦ fell on the turn.
Steinbrenner then bet 4,500,000, and Pansier again called. The river was the A♥ and Steinbrenner moved all in for 11,525,000. Pansier quickly called.
Steinbrenner showed A♣10♣7♠4♣ for a flopped straight, but Pansier had 4♠4♦3♥2♣ for the same straight on the river to chop the pot.
"This one was a bit unfair," Pansier admitted.
"I'll take it over a three or a deuce," Steinbrenner replied.
