Max Result for Steinberg

A pot grew like a sticky snowball thrown down a hill of money between three players just now, with Max Steinberg raking in a pot which upped his stack over the 145,000 mark. It all took off on a flop of {10-Spades}

when a player with no ID card in front of him made it 4,000 to go, raised to 10,050 by Karl Mahrenholz (I think he likes green 25 chips). Over to the button, Steinberg, who promptly made it 30,000.

All this action, and the original bettor only had about that much in front of him. It all followed the 4,000 into the middle. Now Karl had a decision - around 20,000 to call - and seriously looked as though he was close to doing it. The option of the bigger stack setting him in at this juncture was closed, and he looked genuinely pained to be giving up his hand. He did though.

The all-in player showed {10-Hearts}
