Steinberg Avoids Benyamine-field

Daniel Steinberg threebet out of the big blind preflop (4,800), which didn't win the increments of 1,100 put in by everyone so far (David Benyamine, Melanie Weisner) but brought him and Benyamine to a flop heads-up. That flop: {7-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {6-Hearts}. After a think so long Steinberg could have gone on screensaver, he bet out 5,400. Now Benyamine counted out all of his stacks of every denomination looking at each closely before making the call.

The turn was the {8-Hearts}. Another lengthy pause (to put it in context, the table next door played three hands during this one). Check to Benyamine, who slid in his entire c.15k stack, prompting a toss in the muck of Steinberg's hand. Benyamine is winning Most Volatile Stack award today, by a clear margin.
