Schneider Gets Called With a Cinch

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Mike "Schneids" Schneider had his opponent drawing dead.
Mike "Schneids" Schneider had his opponent drawing dead.

We found Mike Schneider on the button and all in for 20,000 on a board of {9-Spades}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. His opponent was thinking, and he pushed out calling chips after about another minute of thought.

Schneider quickly flipped {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a broadway straight, and his opponent helplessly and angrily tossed {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades} down for a dead pair. After the {9-Hearts} completed the board and the dealer swept the chips to "Schneids," his opponent commented that he put Schneider on kings.

Jore Doubles on River

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A player in middle position opened for 4,000, and Matt Jore put his last 18,900 in. Action folded to the big blind, who moved all in over the top, forcing the original raiser to fold.

Jore: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Big blind: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Jore was way behind, and a flop of {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} did him no favors. The {j-Diamonds} turn left him with three outs, but the {a-Hearts} was just the ticket on the river.

"I knew it," the big blind said quietly.

Herrington's AA Gets Paid

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We found Beverly Herrington betting about 6,000 on a {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop and being called by one opponent. When a {3-Spades} peeled off on the turn, Herrington shoved all in and was called by her covered opponent.

Herrington: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Opponent: {q-}{q-}

Herrington dodged the two-outer when the river came a {2-Hearts}, and she sent her opponent to the exits.

Telschow Rivers an Out

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

In a three-bet pot, a player in early position who had opened fired out 7,600 on the turn with the board reading {j-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{a-Clubs}. Jesse Telschow pushed all in for 26,650, and he got called.

Telschow: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Early position: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

Telschow's top pair was no good, but he still could hit a king or a queen to catch up. The {k-Clubs} river gave him broadway, and he doubled through.

Tollefson Three-Barrels "Joker"

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

After a {k-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop, Taylor Tollefson bet 3,000 from under the gun and saw one player fold before Marc "Poker Joker" Powers called on the button. An {a-Hearts} hit the turn, and Tollefson continued his aggression with 5,500. Powers called again, and an {a-Diamonds} paired the board. Tollefson bet 9,000, and Powers didn't deliberate long before folding.

Powers is best known for creating the "Poker Joker" clothing line, which you can read about here.
