How Fortunes Have Changed

[user75032]

Before dinner Josh Schlein was near the top of the counts. After losing several pots -- including a recent pot to Armando Ruiz -- Schlein is near the bottom of the counts.

Ruiz was the pre-flop aggressor, opening the pot with a raise. Schlein called to a flop of {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

. Ruiz bet and Schlein called.

On the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

turn, Ruiz bet again. Now Schlein raised, and Ruiz opted to just call. The {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

on the river was checked through. Ruiz showed {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

for a turned set of fives. Schlein had only a pair of aces and mucked.

After the hand, Schlein is on 18,000 while Ruiz has bumped up to 32,000.
