Coppola Lays Trap; Schneiders Shoves River
It folded to Enrico Coppola in the small blind, who limped in with Q♠Q♣. Tomas Jozonis raised his 10♥3♣ to 420,000 in the big blind, but quickly folded when Coppola three-bet to 1,425,000.
On the next deal, Felix Schneiders found A♥J♥ in early position and raised to 240,000. Nazar Buhaiov called in the big blind holding A♣9♦, and the players saw a flop of A♠10♦8♣.
After Buhaiov checked, Schneiders continued for 180,000. Buhaoiv tossed in some calling chips, and the dealer placed the 3♦ on the turn.
Buhaiov checked a second time. Schneiders used one of his time banks in the middle before settling on a sizing of 425,000. Buhaiov called again, and the 3♠ river completed the board.
A third check followed from Buhaoiv, prompting Schneiders to virtually move all in with a bet of 875,000. Buhaiov correctly mucked his cards within his 30-second shot clock, sending the pot Schneider's way.
