, and the action was checked to Steicke, who dropped a purple 500 chip and two green 25's into the middle, announcing a bet of 350. Christofi called by tossing a single 500 chip into the middle and Wang folded. As the dealer made change for Christofi, he accidentally slid him a 500 chip instead of a second green.

on the table and it was Christofi's turn to act. He checked, and Steicke fired another bullet, this time betting 525. Christofi made a quick call, bringing us to the river: .Christofi then quickly fired a 1,200 bet on fifth street, and Steicke wasted no time tossing his cards into the muck pile.
