Steenkamp Talks His Way to Profit
Level 5
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Three ways to the J♠10♦5♣6♦ turn, Dirk Steenkamp checked from the small blind and the big blind bet 3,000. Ricardo Sequeira called on the button and Steenkamp also called, then checked the 3♠ on the river.
"You gonna check also because you probably have five four, and your queen nine is no good," Steemkamp said. His table neighbour checked, as did Sequeira. Steenkamp declared that he had a ten and flashed the 10♣4♥. Sequeira mucked a five and the big blind indeed exposed his 5♥4♣.
