Schmitz Plays With Fire
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Thomas Hueber raised to 9,000 in the last hand of the previous level and Tonino Schmitz defended his big blind. On the 
flop both players checked. On the 
turn, Schmitz tank-called a bet of 12,500 and then shoved the 
river for 56,500. "I must be good, because he tanks," Schmitz said to a friend from one seat over.
Hueber then asked whether he should call or fold and Schmitz joked "Sure, call. I just play the High Roller then. If you call, I will pay you a beer. Service!" The small talk eventually worked and Hueber folded six minutes into the new level.
