The first three hands of heads-up saw the two players share some blinds and antes, with the button player making a raise and taking down the pot preflop.
Marcel Schreiner has just managed to take down the last three hands of play, with his run starting on the following hand.
Action was started by Matt Yates when he raised to 40,000 from the button. Schreiner made the call from the big blind and the 
flop was dealt. Both players checked and watched as the 
fell on the turn. Schreiner would then check-raise a bet of 50,000 from Yates, making it 125,000 to go. Yates wouldn't slow down yet, making it 200,000. A call would see the 
come on the river and the aggression from the last street was exchanged with a couple of checks. Schreiner tabled his 
for three kings, while the 
would see Yates' cards into the muck.
The next hand saw Schreiner raise on the button and take down the blinds and antes.
Schreiner then won the next hand when he force Yates out of the pot on the river with a board showing

The last hand we just witnessed was the biggest pot of the heads-up battle so far, but when all was said and done both players would table 
and take a chop.
The board showed 
with Matt Yates the main aggressor for much of the hand. The pot was raised by Yates preflop and when the players both checked the flop , Schreiner would get raised to 137,000 on the turn after leading for 54,000. Schreiner would then check-call a bet of 132,000 on the river and the two players would chop the pot when they turned their hands over.
Marcel Schreiner seem to be simply grinding away at Matt Yates, with Schreiner managing to gather a nice chip lead over the last 10 minutes.
Schreiner has not had to show one hand out of the last 15, winning 12 of these hands without going to showdown, getting Yates to fold either preflop, or once the cards have been dealt. It may be too early to call this a domination, but so far it is Schreiner who has definitely got the egde over Yates.
