Sergej Schumacher opened to 500 under the under, only to be faced with a three-bet to 1,600 by Sergej Schumacher in middle position. Action folded back to Schumacher, who called.
On the A♣4♦4♣ flop, Laustetter check-raised to 2,500 versus a bet of 800 from Schumacher. After some thought, Schumacher called.
The 8♠ rolled off on the turn, and Laustetter fired out a bet of 3,000. Schumacher quickly called.
The 9♥ river completed the board and was checked by both players.
Laustetter showed A♦K♣ for top pair aces, and Schumacher mucked.

Life Outside Poker is a new podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the tenth episode, Connor speaks with health and life coach Tyler Todt, a longtime poker player who made seven figures in early online poker days before taking a job in the banking industry and eventually leaving that to become his own boss and a health influencer.
Todt talked about online poker pre-Black Friday, bum hunting Tom Dwan, the benefits of a balanced life, avoiding the pitfalls of Las Vegas, being bullish on humanity and his favorite non-fiction books.
This interview was filmed at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Tyler Todt by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
