Max Steinberg Five-Bet Shoves Preflop
We walked up to the table to see a pot being played out between Max Steinberg in the big blind and an opponent on the button. Steinberg had a bet of 3,000 in front of him, but he was the one currently in the tank, as the button had already reraised to 13,000. Steinberg thought it over for a bit before shoving all in for his stack, which was right around the starting stack of 50,000.
Steinberg had his opponent barely covered, and his opponent went deep into the tank. At one point, he flashed his cards to his neighbor, then after about 90 seconds, he flipped his cards, pocket queens, face up in front of him without announcing anything. Steinberg didn't flinch, and his opponent flipped his hand back up, before folding it a few moments later, giving Steinberg the pot.
