Areil Schneller Advances to Round 2

It was heads up at Table #36, with Ariel Schneller enjoying a sizable chip advantage over Jim Grogan.

We picked up the action on the flop of {3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Schneller led for 1,000, Grogan reraised to 3,000, Schneller moved all in, and Grogan called. Schneller showed {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for middle pair and a flush draw. Grogan showed {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for top pair.

The turn was the {Q-Spades}. Then the river brought the {2-Diamonds}, giving Schneller the hand and the match.
