Steinberg Out, Seidel In

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Leonidas Andriopoulos raised to 1,100 from the hijack, which Mark Steinberg called in the cutoff before Wataru Kosugi three-bet to 4,000 on the button. The players in the blinds folded, and Andriopoulos and Steinberg both called.

Andriopoulos checked on the A45 flop, but Steinberg took over the betting lead, potting it for 12,800, which was most of his stack. Kosugi folded, but Andriopoulos raised, putting Steinberg all in, who called.

Mark Steinberg: KJ44 All in
Leonidas Andriopoulos: KK32

Steinberg had flopped a set, but Andriopoulos had the lead with a flopped straight.

Neither the 3 turn nor the J river could save Steinberg, who was eliminated.

Steinberg's seat wasn't empty for long, as Erik Seidel joined the tournament and took the newly vacant seat at the table.
