Hilton Gets Some Back

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Max Steinberg had the button, and raised to 65,000. Jonathan Hilton three-bet to 160,000 from the small blind, Robert Panitch quickly folded, and Steinberg called.

The dealer fanned {4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, Hilton led out for 155,000, and Steinberg called.

The turn was a repeat four - the {4-Hearts} - and Hilton fired another bullet worth 290,000. Steinberg thought for 45 seconds or so, then folded.

Two Pair for Steinberg

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Robert Panitch opened for 65,000 on the button and received to calls. Two checks on the {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{K-Clubs} flop saw Panitch bet 100,000, Max Steinberg call from the small blind and Jonathan Hilton fold the big. Both players then checked the {10-Diamonds} turn as well as the {Q-Spades} river. Steinberg tabled the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for two pair and it was good as the man known as "Uncle Krunk" mucked his hand.

Steinberg Takes One Down

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Jonathan Hilton had the button, and raised to 60,000. Max Steinberg defended his big blind then checked when the flop fell {7-Spades}{q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Hilton flipped forward 65,000, Steinberg called, and the turn brought a third seven - the {7-Diamonds}.

Steinberg knuckled again, Hilton checked behind, and the {j-Spades} completed the board. The two checked again.

Steinberg tabled {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for effectively ace-high, and took down the pot.

We're Back in Action

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The dinner break is over. We're not sure where all of the players went for dinner, but we do know Max Steinberg headed just down the street to Mother's, a famed New Orleans eatery, with his identical twin brother. How do we know? Let's just say it's a popular place among members of the media, tournament staff, etc.

Anyway, cards are back in the air here at Harrah's New Orleans.

Blinds: 15,000/30,000

Steinberg Back-Raises All In

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Robert "Uncle Krunk" Panitch had the button, and raised to 55,000. Max Steinberg called in the small blind, and Jonathan Hilton bumped it up, three-betting to 175,000. Panitch unhappily folded, while Steinberg went into the tank. He shifted in his chair after 30 seconds or so, then announced that he was all in.

Hilton immediately folded.

Panitch Leads the Flop

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Jonathan Hilton opened for 48,000 on the button and Robert Panitch called from the small blind. Max Steinberg came along for the ride from the big, and it was three-way action to the {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop. Panitch wasted little time in leading out for 150,000, and it did the trick as both his opponents folded.
