Schmitt Wins the Flip to Stay Alive
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Andrew Hawkins opened 125,000 in early position, and Tim Schmitt three-bet jammed for 935,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back around to Hawkins who tanked for about a minute before making the call.
Tim Schmitt: A♦J♥
Andrew Hawkins: 9♦9♣
It was a classic flip but the J♠8♥6♥ flop gave Schmitt the lead with a pair of jacks. The 10♥ fell on the turn, giving Hawkins a straight draw with his pair but also Schmitt a flush draw. The K♠ river changed nothing though as Schmitt raked in his double.
