Steinberg Scoops Massive Pot; Assumes Chip Lead

We caught up with the action in a heads-up pot on a completed board reading {J-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. A huge pot had already been brewed by the time we arrived.

The player in the big blind checked to Max Steinberg in early position, who announced a bet for 90,000. Steinberg's opponent tanked for about two minutes before committing calling chips. Steinberg tabled {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} and his opponent rapped the table and mucked.

Steinberg, who recently won Event #33: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em, is our current chip leader with 350,000.
