Schleicher Gets a Boat to Crack Aces
Level 13
: 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
The button moved all in preflop for 14,000 and was called by Gerhard Schleicher in the cutoff.
Button: A♦A♥
Gerhard Schleicher: 9♠9♥
The short-stacked button was favorite to double up, especially after gaining a wheel draw on the flop of 5♠3♣2♥, but the 9♣ turn gave the German a set of nines. The 2♣ on the river gave Schleicher a boat and sent the button to the rail agonizingly short of the money.
