Drache: (X-X) / / (X)
On fourth street, Schertzer bet, and Drache flatted him. On fifth street, Schertzer bet once more, but Drache put in the raise to 80,000. Schertzer called all in for his final 20,000, putting his tournament life in danger. He had ammunition though, proudly opening up his buried .
