Schlepping Down the Leaderboard

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Florian Schleps has had a few minutes he'll want to forget in a hurry.

First he opened to 32,000, Dimitris Mpinas moved all in for 230,000 and Rupert Elder reraised all in behind him.

Schleps,"Well, that made my decision easy," folding {A-Spades} {J-Spades} face up.

Elder: {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}
Mpinas: {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

When the board came {A-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {7-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} for Mpinas to double up, Schleps made a sound like nails across a chalkboard in sadness.

But it got worse. Oh yes.

Schleps got into a raising war aganst David Elyashar, dominating the Israeli with {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} against {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} but the board came {Q-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {3-Clubs} - Schleps has dropped about half his stack.D
