Steicke Situation

David Steicke is down to 3,425 in chips early on after losing a decent sized pot to Chris Christofi.

Action folded around to Steicke on the button, and he made it 250 to go. Christofi made the call from the small blind, as did Robert Wang from the big.

The flop came down {A-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}, and the action was checked to Steicke, who dropped a purple 500 chip and two green 25's into the middle, announcing a bet of 350. Christofi called by tossing a single 500 chip into the middle and Wang folded. As the dealer made change for Christofi, he accidentally slid him a 500 chip instead of a second green. Christofi quickly corrected the error, which prompted Steicke to comment, "You're very honest."

After the brief exchange, the dealer placed the {7-Hearts} on the table and it was Christofi's turn to act. He checked, and Steicke fired another bullet, this time betting 525. Christofi made a quick call, bringing us to the river: {K-Hearts}.

Christofi then quickly fired a 1,200 bet on fifth street, and Steicke wasted no time tossing his cards into the muck pile.
