Steinberg Puts on the Pressure
![[user198174]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Max Steinberg opened from under the gun for 90,000 and action folded around to Joseph Marzicola in the big blind who made the call.
The flop came 
and Marzicola check-called a bet of 105,000 from Steinberg. The turn saw an 
land and Steinberg bet out 265,000 after Marzicola checked.
The river 
saw more of the same with Marzicola checking and Steinberg betting. This time Steinberg announced all in and Marzicola went into the tank. Marzicola talked a little letting the table know he had a bust straight and flush draw, but he still thought he was ahead. In the end though he threw it away.
