Sagstrom: () ()
Steicke's board looked impressive but he needed a tasty river to make a sixty-five low to get past Sagstrom who ended up with a ninety-seven. Steicke already has a cult hero following in the Australasian region, and a deep run in this event would confirm his place on the International poker scene. However he's got some more work to do yet, as he survives on 145,000 chips.
