Playing Back at Schultz

[user66118]

Hank Czarnecki raised to 65,000 to open the pot, and he found calls from both Bryan Schultz (button) and Daniel Lowery (big blind) to go off to a three-way flop.

It came {5-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} , and it checked around to the {2-Hearts} . When it checked to him a second time, Schultz took his cue to bet 30,000, but Lowery promptly check-raised to 80,000 total. Schultz clicked it back to 140,000, but Lowery came right over the top with another raise to 375,000 total. The fold came quickly from Schultz, and he lamented the fact that he didn't reraise before the flop.

On the next hand, Schultz raised to 65,000, but Ron Segni three-bet to 130,000 next door. Schultz was forced to fold once again, and he's slipped back to the million-chip mark -- there or thereabouts.

Schultz Punishes Czarnecki

[user66118]

There have been a few battles between Hank Czarnecki and Bryan Schultz that have fizzled out before any serious fireworks erupted, and we just watched the two of them play another pot.

It started with Czarnecki raising his button, and Schultz defended from the big blind to see a flop. The latter check-called another 75,000 on the {10-Spades} {7-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} flop, and he checked again behind the {J-Spades} turn. When Czarnecki bet 110,000, though, Schultz check-raised to 300,000 straight. That folded Czarnecki without much trouble, and that hit knocks Czarnecki back down under the million-chip mark.

Hank Czarnecki	895,000 -55,000	-55,000

Jim Atwood Eliminated in 5th Place ($27,843)

[user196975]

Bryan Schultz opened from under the gun for 75,000 and Jim Atwood called from the big blind. The flop came out {J-Hearts} {K-Spades} {9-Hearts} and Atwood wasted no time shoving. Schultz insta-called and turned up {K-Clubs} {J-Spades} for top two pair.

Atwood needed to hit a heart holding {8-Hearts} {3-Hearts} to stay alive but got air when the board completed {Q-Spades} {8-Spades} . Atwood hit the rail as the remaining four players adjusted chairs to get more comfortable.

Lowery Climbs Further

[user66118]

From the button, Ron Segni raised to 75,000, and Daniel Lowery flatted in the small blind to go heads up with him.

The flop brought {3-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {2-Spades} , and Lowery led out into the pot with 100,000. Segni didn't waste any time matching the bet, and the two men checked through the {3-Clubs} turn. The {4-Spades} appeared on the river, and Lowery fired back out with another 150,000. There was a bit of a pause this time, but the call eventually came.

Lowery announced his king and tabled {K-Spades} {J-Hearts} , and Segni's cards hit the muck face-down. He's now down around the half-million chip mark.
