Nate Steuer Eliminated in 12th Place ($6,190)
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Guanyun Cheng opened under the gun and action folded around to Nate Steuer in the big blind, who defended.
The flop came 
and Steuer led out with roughly a pot-sized all-in bet, which Cheng wasted no time calling.
Steuer: 
Cheng: 
Steuer had opted for a stop-and-go with a flopped top pair, but he was up against another top pair with a better kicker and a heart draw. The turn 
and river 
did not improve him, ultimately giving Cheng a flush en route to his departure from the tournament in 12th place �� another deep run after he was the champion of the RGPS Council Bluffs $420 Golden Ticket Main Event this past November.
