Max Steinberg Dodges Bullets

Under the gun, Ted Lawson made it 2,500 to go preflop. All the way around to button Max Steinberg, who makes it 9,200. The blinds bow out graciously, but Lawson puts in a third raise -- 24,500 becomes the price of the flop. About 65,000 was in Lawson's stack, and over 100,000 in Steinberg's, so this could have been a huge preflop gamble -- instead, Steinberg just flat-called.

Flop: {9-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}. Lawson's remaining chips were over the line immediately, and Steinberg eventually gave it up reluctantly, although he said, "Thank you," when Lawson opted to show him his {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}.

Lawson - 115,000
Steinberg - 90,000
