Steiner Chip and a Chair
Joshua Steiner was down to his last 1,000 chip during hand-for-hand play and managed to survive the bubble with that one chip. Once players were in the money Steiner went all in for 1,000. The player in late position then re-shoved for his last 5,000 chip, and was called by Erick Lindgren in the cutoff and the player on the button.
Once the dealer organized the pots Lindgren and the button were off to a flop of 4♥4♣K♥. Action went check check to the 3♠ turn, at which point the button bet 15,000 and Lindgren folded.
The dealer put a 2♦ on the river and Steiner won the main pot with K♦K♠3♦10♥
.
The player on the button tabled A♠A♦J♣5♣ which bested the other all in player's Q♥Q♣7♥6♣.
The very next hand Steiner was all in again for his remaining stack and was called by Erick Lindgren and another player in middle position. When the board ran out 5♣Q♠5♥9♦J♣ Steiner tabled A♥Q♥8♦5♦ for a flopped full house. The other two players mucked their hands.
