David Steicke Eliminated

A short-stacked David Steicke has just been eliminated from the 6-handed event by opponent Robert Wang.

With the blinds at 75/150, action folded around to Steicke on the button, who open-shoved for 1,200. Chris Christofi called from the small blind, as did Wang from the big, and the three saw the flop come {Q-?} {8-?} {7-?}.

According to Christofi, he checked to Wang, who fired a bet on the flop, prompting Christofi to fold and a showdown ensued:

Showdown:
Wang: {7-?} {7-?}
Steicke: {8-?} {4-?}

Bricks on both the turn and river locked up the hand for Wang, who now sits with about 9,000 in chips.
