Steindel Spikes River to Double
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Action folded to David Cabrera on the button, who opened to 16,000, with Darius Gadeikis and Christian Steindel in the blinds making the call.
On the K?9?3? flop, action was checked to Cabrera, who fired out a bet of 17,000. Only Steindel called.
The A? rolled off on the turn, and Steindel check-jammed for 160,000 versus a bet of 27,000 from Cabrera. After some thought, Cabrera made the call with the covering stack.
Christian Steindel: Q?9? 
David Cabrera: A?9?
Steindel had run his pair of nines into Cabrera's two pair, aces and nines.
However Steindel still had outs to the spade draw, and sure enough the 3? rolled off on the river to send him the double-up.
