Steinberg's Three-Bet

Max Steinberg limped in on the button, Matt Stout completed the small blind, and Samuel Gerber checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came {5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Stout bet out 115,000. Gerber was next to act and he raised to 315,000. Last to act was Steinberg who three-bet to 775,000. Stout quickly got out of the way, and Gerber took his time before ultimately following suit with a fold.

Gerber Gets One

Dylan Hortin raised it up to 100,000 from the button and found a caller in Samuel Gerber who was residing on the big blind.

The flop came {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and Gerber check-called a bet of 100,000 from Hortin. The {k-Diamonds} on the turn saw a repeat of action with Gerber again check-calling a bet of 200,000.

The {8-Diamonds} on the river brought to checks from the players and Gerber flipped over {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for jacks and threes. Hortin mucked his cards and Gerber was awarded the pot.
