Steininger Running Hot

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

A few hands prior to her latest big boost, Kristalina Steininger had two players covered all in preflop.

Steininger: {j-}{j-}
Opponent: {a-}{a-}
Opponent: {k-}{k-}

Steininger asked for a "jack-ball one time!" and she got her wish as a jack fell on the turn and she eliminated both players.

In the most recent hand, Steininger called an open-raise of 800 from a player in middle position. The two went heads-up to a flop of {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Steininger led out for 900. Her opponent called and the {10-Diamonds} hit on the turn.

Again, Steininger led out with the same bet, but this time her opponent moved all in. Steininger snap-called, putting her opponent at risk.

Steininger: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {10-}{10-}

The turn was the worst card in the deck for Steininger's opponent and after the {a-Clubs} bricked off on the turn, Steininger was pushed the pot.

Liu Doubles Up

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We saw the dealer flip over the turn just after Xuan Liu called her opponent's bet on the flop. The board was reading {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} and her opponent bet out 1,250. Liu pushed her stack all in to risk her life in this tournament, and the bettor made the call.

Liu: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Liu locked up the double with the two red aces when the river fell {6-Diamonds}.
