Steicke Magic

Steicke Flops Quads
Steicke Flops Quads
John Juanda opened with a raise to 8,000 and David Steicke and JC Tran made the call. On a flop of {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs} Juanda and Steicke checked to Tran on the button who led out with a bet of 12,000 and both players followed it up with a call.

The turn landed the {2-Spades} and with it again being checked to Tran he cut down a bet of 26,000. Juanda passed and the clock counted down on Steicke. Five, four, three, two, "I call" responded Steicke as he slid a stack of grey 1000-chips into the pot plus the additional few thousand.

As the crowd gathered and the railbirds leaned as far as they could, the river peeled the {K-Spades}. Steicke stared at the board intently though his Clark Kent-like glasses as the clock again ticked down. With only a second to spare Steicke tapped the table indicating a check, and while shuffling chips in his left hand, JC Tran announced all in.

Instantly Steicke announced call, stood up from his chair and tabled {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for flopped quads! Tran shook his head and dropped his cards near the muck. As the dealer reached over to muck them, Steicke asked to see the hand that propelled him to the chip lead. The dealer obliged turning over Tran's {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for an under-pair bluff.

As Steicke raked in the pot sending him to over 320,000, Tran stood up and headed to consult his entourage of Nam Le, Quinn Do and Novermber Nine final tablist David 'Chino' Rheem. Running into quads didn't cripple Tran as he now sits with a still healthy 160,000.
