Schneiders Stuns Meisolle on River
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Joachim Meisolle raised to 150,000 in the hijack. It folded to Felix Schneiders in the big blind, who defended.
Meisolle placed bets of 150,000 on both the 6♠Q♦10♣ flop and 8♣ turn, with Schneiders check-calling both times.
The 9♦ river then completed the board. Schneiders led out for 350,000, receiving a quick call. Schneiders tabled Q♥J♥ for a straight.
"No way!" Meisolle exclaimed a few times, followed by an expletive as he showed A♠Q♠. His top pair, top kicker was no longer good as the pot was shipped Schneiders' way, leaving Meisolle with 12 big blinds.
