We headed to Max Steinberg's former table to find out what happened to the November Niner, after previously having seen him with a healthy chipstack.

Jarod Einsohn told us that seven players saw a flop of {10-}{9-}{8-}. It checked to Steinberg who bet 10,000 and Einsohn was the only caller. The pair checked the {6-} on the turn and on the river, which was a {9-}, Steinberg moved all in, putting Einsohn's stack of around 55,000 to the test.

Unfortunately for Steinberg, Einsohn turned over {8-}{9-} for a rivered full house, beating the {q-}{5-} of Steinberg.

Then, a little while later, a player in early position raised and Justin Gwinn called in middle position. Steinberg called on the button and the flop came {9-}{8-}{6-} with two clubs. It checked to Gwinn who bet 4,000. Steinberg moved all in for 28,000. The initial raiser folded and Gwinn called.

Gwinn showed {7-}{7-} and Steinberg {6-}{6-}. The turn was a {k-} but the {10-} river gave Gwinn a straight and eliminated Steinberg.
