Joshua Steinberg Eliminated in 18th Place ($60,600)
Level 37
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Joshua Steinberg opened to 7,000,000 from under the gun, leaving himself just 200,000 behind. Action folded around to Michael Monroig who three-bet to 7,200,000 exactly on the button. Players were on a pay jump and Steinberg went into a small tank before calling to risk his tournament life.
Joshua Steinberg: A♣J♦
Michael Monroig: A♥Q♦
Steinberg saw he was behind when the cards were flipped and the 6♦4♦A♦ flop didn't change the standings. The 5♦ was turned and Steinberg was sent to the rail as Monroig had the better diamond. He stood from the table as the 7♦ river was placed, and he hit the rail in 18th place for $60,600.
