Ian Steinman Eliminated in 5th Place ($45,434)
Niveau 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
Ian Steinman raised to 85,000 from under the gun before Tamon Nakamura three-bet out of the big blind to 200,000. Steinman quickly called and they went heads-up to the 2♣5♣9♣ flop.
Nakamura tossed in 100,000 and Steinman called. The turn came the 3♠ and Nakamura announced he was all in.
Steinman, with 420,000 remaining, tanked for several minutes as he counted down his stack several times and asked what the next blind level will be. He eventually slammed his chips in the middle and Nakamura turned over A♦4♥ for the straight.
"Nice hand," Steinman said with an air of resignation as he showed 9♦8♦. The river came the 4♦ and Steinman, who battled back from a short stack multiple times today, was finally eliminated in fifth place.
