Nam Le, flush with his new-found chips courtesy of Andrew Scott, raised from the button to 16,000. David Steicke made the call out of the big blind, then checked the flop of {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

. Le bet 20,000; Steicke quickly check-raised all in and Le snap-called.

Steicke: {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

Le:

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

It was an absolutely horrible spot for Steicke. He was thoroughly dominated by Le's top two pair, needing running sixes to pull out a miracle win. He didn't get them. The turn was the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

and the river was the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

to make a full house for Le.

Just like that, Nam Le, who came back from dinner with fewer than ten big blinds in his stack, finds himself with a very healthy chip stack of 280,000.
