Dramatic Chop For Schartner's Life

Level 28 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Tyler St. Clair who limped from the cutoff. Mark Potovsky followed suit from the button and Andrew Tai pushed out a three-bet to 200,000 from the small blind. Steven Schartner then four-bet all in from the big blind and it folded back to Tai. Tai called and the hands were revealed to be racing:

Tai: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Schartner: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Tai flopped a set on the {6-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Spades} flop and the {9-Diamonds} rolled off on the turn.

"Good game guys," said Schartner to the table.

He spoke too soon, however, as the {7-Spades} hit the river, putting a straight on board and allowing a chop and keeping Schartner's tournament life alive.
