Gone Before the Break
Ryan Steinberg just turned 21 earlier this year and he's already won a Borgata tournament and finished runner-up in another. He took first in the May Deepstacks Challenge $300 NLH for $8,738. Then in August he took second in the $180 Summer Heater NLH event for $23,908.
He started Day 2 in good shape with 80,200, but got all-in with pocket aces against pocket tens. A ten on the flop sent him to the rail. Ryan is the son or Mark Steinberg, who is still in this event. Mark has numerous final table appearances at Borgata, but has yet to take home a title in a reported event.
Greg Bock has also had a bad start today. He had a shorter stack all-in with pocket Jacks against his pocket Kings. He got jacked on the river and his opponent doubled up with a set. He was left short and got his last chips in with trips against a gutshot, which got there. Bock was busted before the break.
