Wilf’s River Bet Leaves Schneiders in the Dust
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Felix Schneiders started the action with a raise to 2,000 from the hijack and found three callers.
When the flop came J♦A♦4♥, two players checked, giving Schneiders the chance to make a continuation-bet of 2,000. Only Saar Wilf, sitting on the button, decided to stick around with a call.
On the J♥ turn, Schneiders bet again, but this time Wilf responded with a raise to 7,000. After a moment, Schneiders called.
The 3♦ river seemed to slow Schneiders down as he checked. Wilf capitalized with a bet of 12,500, which was enough to force Schneiders to send his cards into the muck.
