Down & Up for Steinberg

Brian Powell made it 26,000 under the gun and Daniel Steinberg made it 53,000 from the button; Powell made the call and they were at the {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop.

Both players checked the flop, and they saw the devil's own turn - the {6-Diamonds}. Powell bet out 55,000, and Steinberg gave it up there. "I don't want to lose my white chips," he giggled - although his stack was still at an impressive 725,000 after that, only 100,000 of it is in the white T25,000 chips. Powell increased to 425,000.

Steinberg got most of his chips back the next hand (no white ones, though) when he raised to 18,000 in the cutoff and picked up a call from Anthony Newman in the big blind. They both checked the {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop before Newman bet out 30,000 on the {q-Clubs} turn. Steinberg, his hand shaking rather suspiciously to our eyes, called.

Newman checked the {5-Hearts} river and Steinberg tanked up for a while. Eventually he went to bet - but Newman had folded before the chips had left his hand, and Steinberg took the pot to put him back up to around 780,000.
