Another Loud Pot

Just before the break, there was another big pot involving the outspoken Kurt Scheer.

David Woo opened to 11,000 from early position, and Scheer made the call two seats over. The flop came out {J-Spades} {5-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}, and Woo checked.

"How much you got?!" asked Scheer indignantly. "I believe if you call, I will put you all in. I'll take you for 20,000 first!" With that, he clumsily flicked in that amount for his bet. Without delay, Woo check-raised to 50,000, and Scheer insta-called.

Fourth street came the {Q-Hearts}. "What you wanna bet?!" asked Scheer immediately. The answer was 47,000, as Woo made the bet, leaving himself just 7,000 behind. Scheer again called quickly.

The river fell the {4-Diamonds}. Woo moved in for that last 7,000, and Scheer matched the bet, putting Woo's tournament life in danger.

Showdown
Woo: {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades}
Scheer: {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}

It was quite the cooler for Woo, flopping the underset to Scheer's top set. With that, the early chip leader David Woo collected his belongings and headed for the door. Scheer is now quite healthy with right at 330,000 in chips, good enough to take over the chip lead.
