Steenstra Lost in a Cooler
Level 6
: 300/600, 600 ante
Simon Steenstra lost about half of his stack and explained how it all went down.
He opened to 1,200 in the previous level from the button and he was called by the player in the big blind. The flop was 
with two hearts on there. Steenstra's opponent, Richard Hayes, checked and the Dutchman continued with a bet of 1,200. He was called again.
The turn was the 
which brought the third heart on the table. Steenstra bet again after it checked to him but he bet 2,800 this time. Hayes called again and the 
fell down on the river.
Steenstra was now facing a 15,000 bet from Hayes on the river and decided to call it off with 
for the nut straight, but he lost his chips against 
of Hayes.
