Schumacher Loses a Small One

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Johan Schumacher has some catching up to do if he wishes to repeat his final table appearance of the previous year in this very event as he dropped below the starting stack in the second level of the day.

Just now the Belgian bet the {K-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{J-Clubs} turn for 1,000 when his sole remaining opponent checked to him and received a call. Schumacher checked behind the {3-Diamonds} river and his {A-Spades}{8-Clubs} couldn't beat {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}.
