Steicke's Bluff Fails

David Steicke is a well known high roller who usually only shows up for the bigger buy-in events. Steicke won the $100,000 tournament during the Aussie Millions in 2009, and finished fourth in the same event in 2011. We just saw a hand develop between Steicke and this year's bracelet winner John Monnette.

On a {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop Steicke checked to Monnette who bet 5,900 into a 11,9,00 chip pot. Steicke tanked for a bit and called.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and both players checked. The river was the {A-Hearts} and Steicke quickly bet 15,100. Monnette gave it some thought and eventually flicked in the chips in order to make the call. Steicke immediately mucked his cards, after which Monnette turned over {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

Monnette is up to well over 200,000 while Steicke drops below 100,000.
