No. 8 Max Steinberg Advances to the Finals

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Max Steinberg - Advances to the championship
Max Steinberg - Advances to the championship

With the blinds at 6,000/12,000/2,000, Jason Koon raised to 25,000. Max Steinberg defended his big bind, and both players knuckled on a flop of {2-Clubs}{a-Spades}{q-Clubs}. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}, Steinberg led out for 33,000, and Koon called.

The river was the {j-Clubs}, Steinberg led out for 75,000, and Koon folded.

The very next hand, Steinberg raised to 25,000 on the button, and Koon three-bet to 75,000. Steinberg four-bet to 165,000, Koon moved all in for 795,000, and Steinberg called.

Steinberg: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Koon: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Koon was in great shape to double and take the lead, but the {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop gave Steinberg jacks and nines. Koon was unable to catch up as the turn and river bicked {2-Spades}, {7-Hearts} respectively, and Steinberg will return tomorrow and battle it out for what would be his second career World Series of Poker bracelet.
