Steicke Situation

David Steicke just played out an interesting hand which left him 10,000 richer, and busted an unfortunately unnamed latecomer from Seat 9. Lacking that detail though this story is (although Maz Nawab suggests the name Yilmaz), I can say for certain that it was Steicke who bet 950 on the turn with the board standing {10-Spades}

. This was called by Seat 9. The river brought an interesting {9-Diamonds}

, and another bet out, this time 1,250, from Steicke.

A heartbeat's pause, and Mr. Nine had his whole stack (a further 7,000) in the middle. A slightly longer pause, and Steicke had called. His opponent, knowing he was out now, tapped the table and showed his losing {J-Diamonds}

. Steicke showed the {Q-Spades}

and that queen was good.

"Not a lot of hands I was beating," he admitted to neighbor Timex. But that was one of them.
