The two were off to the races with the nod at the time being given slightly to Larson. He watched his slight edge become a sure thing as the board ran out to score the double.

This is far from the first time Larson and Steinman clashed at this venue, however. The two played heads up for the $3,500 WPT Rolling Thunder Main Event in March, 2018, with Larson defeating Steinman to take home a first-place prize of $295,128.

After the pot, the two found themselves with identical stacks. This would be the last hand they would play together for the time being, though, as the table broke following the hand.

One other player who was on that table was Mike Heshmati, who was short stacked at the time. He was since seen talking to a friend nearby and confirmed he had just been eliminated from the tournament.
