Steiger's Rockets Hold to Double Up

Livello 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There were 105,000 chips in the middle from the pre-flop action and the flop came J♦8♠5♦. Michael Steiger moved all in for 115,000 from the hijack and was called by a player in early position.

Michael Steiger: A♥A♣
Early Position: Q♠Q♦

"Dammit!" shouted the early position player when Steiger turned over the pocket aces. The 9♦ turn gave additional gutshot outs to early position, but the 5♠ was a brick and Steiger doubled up.

Steiger mentioned to PokerNews that his wife will go crazy seeing his name in the updates. Mrs. Steiger - hopefully you will regain your composure in short order.

Burritt's Roller Coaster Ride

Livello 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Lakshmi Narasimha was heads up with David Burritt after the 10♥2♥4♠ flop, checking the action to his left. Burritt slid out a bet of 50,000 which Narasimha called.

Both players checked the 8♥ turn before Narasimha led out for 55,000 on the J♠ river.

Burritt took some time before making the call, showing Q♣Q♦ for top pair. Narasimha turned over A♥K♥ for the flush, taking much of Burritt's stack.

Burritt's fortunes changed on the very next hand, as his K♥10♥ spiked a pair on the flop against 10♣10♦ to double back up.

Lakshmi Narasimha	420,000
