Steinberg Sets the Trap and Catches Ones
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
Max Steinberg limped under the gun, and he was followed by the cutoff and the small blind before the big blind checked his option.
The flop came down 
and action checked over to the cutoff. He bet 1,900 and only Steinberg called.
On the 
turn, both players checked. The river was the 
and Steinberg checked once more. The cutoff player bet 4,100. Steinberg thought for a while, then check-raised, making it 16,000. The player in the cutoff thought for about a minute, then called.
"Flush," Steinberg said. He showed 
and that was good as his opponent mucked. Steinberg scooped in the pot and moved over 100,000 here on Day 2.
