Schneiders On a Roller Coaster Ride
On a turn of 2♥K♠8♦2♠ and with 55,000 chips in the pot, Felix Schneiders checked out of the big blind to Jonathan Condron under the gun. Condron then jammed all in for 64,300 chips, barely being covered by Schneiders.
Schneiders mulled his decision over for a good while before committing to a call to put his opponent at risk.
Jonathan Condron: A♦7♦ 
Felix Schneiders: K♥10♥
It looked like Condron's bluff would be his last hand of the Main Event, but the A♣ river saw him hit an ace to double up. Schneiders, meanwhile, was left with just 6,000 chips.
Those chips went in the next hand when Gareth McMahon raised to 10,000 from the cutoff and Matz Lindman called on the button. Schneiders also committed his chips from the small blind and the 2♣Q♦5♣ was checked through by McMahon and Lindman.
The 7♦ turn saw McMahon check-fold to a bet of Lindman, after which the cards were tabled.
Felix Schneiders: 5♥4♣
Matz Lindman: 4♠4♣
Schneider's pair of fives was the better hand and held on the 10♠ river, seeing him quadruple up.
The very next hand, Schneiders' chips went in again from the button, and his old nemesis Jonathan Condron made the call in the small blind.
Felix Schneiders: A♦A♣
Jonathan Condron: Q♠Q♣
The board ran out an inconsequential 3♣2♥7♣9♦4♠ and Schneiders doubled again to end up with around the same stack he started the day with.
