Steele Sets Up Hammarstrom for Double
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
MSPT Hall of Famer Pat Steele opened under the gun for 1,200 and was called by Alex Winter from the button, along with Nicholas Hammarstrom from the big blind.
The flop came 
and Hammarstrom check-raised to 4,500 after Winter folded to Steele's 1,500 continuation bet.
Steele three-bet to 10,500, then called off his 27,800 stack after Hammarstrom four-bet jammed for more.
Pat Steele: 
Nicholas Hammarstrom: 
Steele was ahead after flopping a set of fives but the 
turn gave him even more of sweat as it gave Hammarstrom more outs heading to the river.
Luckily for Steele, the river came a brick 
and secured his double-up.
