    Default Max Steinberg heads up for WSOP #27 Title

    The Title kinda says it all, but Max is currently heads up for the title in the $3,000 Mix-Max Event #27.
    There will be a report up later in the news section giving all the ins and outs of the final day.

    Three final tables. Two HU's I think (meaning twice in he has been in the final two, not that 2/3 of them were hu tournaments).

    Would have been sick if Hagerling made the King high call on the river.

    It'd be interesting to see how much rubbish the commentators talk, although I imagine they are quite knowledgeable.

    So often they go OMG SICK call/fold, but they can't be +EV in the long run.

    Agreed with the commenters that Haggeling got lucky but also played damn good.

    Congrats Max on the $231k.

    Did he ever get around to doing that interview with FTR after his last FT? If so, anyone have a link? If not, will there be one soon?

    Three final tables and no wins, he's not very good at poker is he.

    I'm reaching out to Max to organise the interview later this week. We're hoping to get a Skype interview organise when Max has the time.

    Well played Max, sick results. Your name sake Max Heinzelmann and you should share a pint and discuss getting rich from 2nd places

    Well played Max. Very impressive, sick results.
    Isaac Hangerling was a tough heads up opponent.
    He's 2nd with 10 remaining in event #35 Pot Limit Omaha right now:
