David Steicke eliminated in 4th place
David Steicke's remarkable fall from grace is complete. After both Jan Suchanek and Simon Morris doubled through Steicke a couple of times each, he found himself as one of the shorter stacks.

Morris raised to 16,000 preflop, with Steicke moving in for just a little bit more.
