Steindel Spikes River to Double
Nivel 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.
