Deusing Stacks Steeves and Doubles Up
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Vaughn Steeves kicked things off with a raise to around 615,000 in middle position, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Johannes Deusing in the hijack then went all-in. Ryo Kotake on the button then asked for a count and once the dealer confirmed 1,785,000 for Deusing's stack, he made the call. Steeves put in his last chip, leading to a showdown.
Vaughn Steeves: 3♠3♦
Johannes Deusing: A♦K♦
Ryo Kotake: Q♣Q♦
Kotake was leading with a potential to eliminate two players, but the 5♣K♠A♠ gave Deusing top two pair. The 9♠ turn opened up a potential flush for Steeves, but the 6♥ sealed the deal for Deusing, allowing him to double up and sending Steeves packing.
