Steinberg Raises the River
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Dietrich Fast and Max Steinberg had arrived on the river in a modest pot of 4,100 chips. Fast led out for 3,000 from the small blind and Steinberg raised to 12,000.
This sent Fast into a long tank, squeezing his pillow and reciting some hands that his opponent could have.
Eventually, he made the call and got shown 5♠5♦ by Steinberg for a flopped set. Fast nodded and gave his chips so Steinberg, who went above starting stack by winning this pot.
