Almeida Eliminates Steinbrenner

Dan O'Hair

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Justin Steinbrenner opened for 165,000 from the hijack, leaving himself a short stack of 1,000-denomination chips behind, and Gonzalo Almeida shoved from the small blind for more. Action folded back to Steinbrenner, who called all in to put himself at risk.

Justin Steinbrenner: K?Q?
Gonzalo Almeida: A?K?

Steinbrenner found himself dominated, and the 5?6?7?9?9? runout provided no help — forcing him to surrender his stack to Almeida.
