Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Timothy Thorp clicked it to 16,000 from under the gun and it was folded around to Max Steinberg in the small blind position. Steinberg raised all in for 84,000 and Thorp snapped the call.

Max Steinberg: 8♣8♥All in
Timothy Thorp: A♦Q♣

As the dealer slid the flop of K♦10♠Q♦ with a queen in the window Steinberg stood up to leave the table.

The turn brought bad news for Steinberg as the J♠ slipped into the board giving Thorp a broadway straight.

The K♣ river changed nothing as Steinberg hit the rail.
