Slow Going for Now

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

The action has been rather slow since our remaining three players came back from dinner. Most hands have been decided preflop or on the flop with no big hands developing.

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.

Double for Stout

Stout: {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Steinberg: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}

The board came {4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and Stout's three of a kind tens were enough to earn him a double up. Players are all now relatively even in chips.

Stout Muscles a Pot

Max Steinberg limped from the button, Matt Stout completed from the small and Samuel Gerber checked his option from the big for a three-way pot.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Stout and Gerber checked to Steinberg, who bet 110,000. Stout called from the small blind, however, Gerber raised to 400,000 total. Undeterred, Gerber flatted, but Stout went all in for a bit over three million. Gerber insta-mucked and Steinberg fell hard into the tank. He eventually let his hand go and Stout scooped the sizable pot.

Double for Steinberg

Samuel Gerber raised it to 210,000 after Matt Stout folded the button. Max Steinberg then raised it up to 450,000. Gerber's response was to move all in for more and put Steinberg at risk. Steinberg snap called and cards were turned over.

Steinberg: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Gerber: {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The board came {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and with Gerber missing his flush and ace draw he was crippled. Steinberg now sits with around 4,000,000.
