Donald Pays a Price for Folding

Michael Schneider was down to his last 1,550, and he picked his spot to move all in from early position. Mark Gardner made the call from the button, while Donald Price announced a reraise from the big blind. He made it 5,000 to play, and Gardner made the call.

With a player all in and two players still live, the dealer spread out the flop: {6-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {5-Clubs}. Price checked and then quickly called a bet of 8,000 chips.

Fourth street came the {2-Diamonds}. Price again checked, and Gardner instantly said, "All in." This sent Price deep into the tank for several minutes. He stood up from his chair, lamenting the tough decision facing him. He had just 8,150 chips left, and there was a large pot up for grabs. When you're beat, you're beat though, and Price laid his hand down in the end.

"Good fold," complimented Gardner as he showed his {A-Spades} {J-Spades}. The river was the {A-Clubs}, and Gardner's hand was the winner and the at-risk Michael Schneider has been eliminated midway through Level 5.
