Wurden Shows Schroer the Goods

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Three players went to the turn on a board of 10108Q when Jon Wurden bet 6,000 from the button. Only John Schroer called in the small blind.

The river was the 4 and Wurden bet another 15,000. Schroer again called, only for Wurden to show him 108 for a flopped full house as he raked in the pot.

Carl Wallin raised to 8,500 in early position and was called by Monty Klistoff in middle position. The big blind then moved all in, and Wallin called for 58,500. Klistoff got out of the way.

Carl Wallin: AA All in
Opponent: KJ

The Q73 flop posed no threat to Wallin's aces, and the rest of the board came 4K to earn him a double up.

At another table, Joseph Beadle shoved for 68,000 on a flop of 625 and Noah Borchard snap-called.

Joseph Beadle: 88 All in
Noah Borchard: JJ

Beadle was dominated by Borchard's jacks, and the board ran out 107 to seal his elimination. Beadle quickly reentered and retook his old seat.

"You're supposed to have ace-king in that last hand," he said to Borchard.

John Schroer
John Schroer

John Schroer raised to 6,000 in early position, Sergio Mireles moved all in from the small blind, and Schroer called.

Sergio Mireles: QQ All in
John Schroer: AA

Whatever hope Mireles might have had to win the pot completely disappeared after the flop came AA5, giving Schroer quads. "Don't say I never did anything nice for you, John," the dealer said to Schroer.

The rest of the board ran out J7 to secure the pot for Schroer. His stack was counted down as 102,000, and Mireles was barely covered and sent to the rail.
