Shaniac Takes One Out

Shane Schleger raised it up preflop and the big blind was the lone caller. They took a flop of {K-?}{7-?}{J-?} and the big blind moved all in for 1,550 in total.

Schleger thought for a few moments but decided he was getting the right price to make the call with his pocket tens. It proved to be a good call as his opponent held {Q-?}{10-?} for just a straight draw.

The turn and river both bricked and Schleger takes the pot and eliminates his opponent. Schleger is now up to 7,400.
