Steicke is the Best

David Steicke limped for 600 in early position and was met with an all-in raise from an opponent in late position. Steicke thought for some time before making the call. Steicke tabled {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} while his opponent turned over {9-Clubs}(9s}.

The {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{Q-Spades} flop gave a sweat to both players. Steicke hit the nuts on the turn {4-Spades}, leaving his opponent drawing dead to a meaningless {K-Diamonds} river.

As Steicke raked in the pot, he moved up to 33,000, and tablemate Gary Benson stated, "You're the best, David!"
