Coming into the seventh hour as the chip leader, David Steicke continued to increase his lead by taking down a few more pots which then led to the demise of Lester Edoc. In a hand between the two, a pot of 3900 was already in the middle of the felt when the board ran 10♣ 7♠ 2♣. Edoc led out for 1600 and Steicke flat-called. On the turn of A♥, Edoc continued and slid out a yellow chip worth 5000. Steicke pondered a bit then doubled it up to 10000 sending Edoc into a bit of pondering as well. Edoc decided to relinquish his hand.
A few hands later, Steicke raised it up to 900 from the utg+1 seat and found a caller in Casey Kastle sitting in the cutoff seat. When action reached Edoc on the big blind, he three-bet to 4500 sending the action back to Steicke. Steicke was not going anywhere and he four-bet to 8200 which caused a fold in Kastle. Edoc wasted no time and pushed all his chips in the middle. Steicke quick-called. Here’s how it went down:
Edoc: A♦ K♥
Steicke: K♠ K♦
With the board running blanks for Edoc, 3♠ Q♣ 4♦ 5♦ 10♠, Edoc was eliminated and Steicke’s stack grew to around 88000.
