Seat 6: Danny Steinberg (1,520,000)
The young 22 year old from Fairfield, Iowa in the United States is a professional poker player who is making his first-ever WSOP final table. Danny Steinberg has a twin brother who can be seen along the rail rooting him on today and according to Steinberg his brother is, “just as successful as me.”
Steinberg cashed in this year’s WSOP twice after playing seven events over the summer. He finished in the money in the $2,500 No-Limit Hold’em event for a small cash and then also finished in the money in the Main Event. Steinberg’s Main Event finish in 395th place earned him $31,647, a score that he’s already topped in this event.
Coming into the day third in chips with 1,520,000, Steinberg has a great shot at really distancing himself from his twin brother. “Hey bro, check out this gold bracelet I just picked up,” might be the line of some fun ribbing that goes on if Steinberg happens to win this title. Win or not, Steinberg’s brother has been on the rail just about everyday to support his brother and cheer him on.
