Hands #81-85: Schindler Slow-Plays Aces, Can't Get Any Value

Level 24 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Hand #81: Small blind wasn't in play after Cary Katz' exit and Jake Schindler opened to 130,000 with {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. Ben Tollerene called from the big blind with {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

Interestingly, Schindler checked back on both {6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop and {Q-Hearts} turn. Tollerene, however, wasn't falling into the trap and checked for the third time after the {5-Clubs} river double-paired the board. Schindler finally slid 160,000 in front of him but he didn't earn any extra money from Tollerene.

Hand #82: Tollerene completed with jack-four offsuit but folded to Schindler's raise out of the big blind.

Hand #83: This time Schindler limped in from the small blind with a weak jack, holding {J-Hearts}{3-Spades}. Riess repeated the big blind strategy from the previous hand and priced it up with his {4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Schindler followed Tollerene's pattern and folded.

Hand #84: Schindler opened the button with {A-Hearts}{5-Spades} but he found no action as both Riess and Tollerene peeled rags.

Hand #85: Tollerene and Schindler met in a limped blind-versus-blind pot as the flop fell {9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, hitting Schindler's {J-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Tollerene led out 90,000 with {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Schindler stuck around with his bottom pair.

Tollerene picked up a gutshot on the {3-Diamonds} turn and he barreled for 240,000. Schindler gave up and Tollerene nearly tied him in chips.
