Schoenfeld Eliminated by "The Good-Looking Guy"

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Adam Schoenfeld just received a brutal knockout blow. Preflop, Sigurd Eskeland opened the pot for 19,000 and was called by Lawrence Jacobs in the small blind. Sitting in the big blind, Schoenfeld reraised to 50,000. Eskeland wasted no time in pushing all in for 267,000. That was enough to fold Jacobs, but it put Schoenfeld into the tank. Eskeland's raise was enough to put Schoenfeld all in. He finally made the call. An ESPN camera crew came running to the table as the dealer announced the all-in.

One member of the crew asked the dealer which players were involved. "The good-looking guy and me," answered Schoenfeld. With that established, each player opened his hand.

Eskeland: {K-Diamonds}

Schoenfeld: {10-Clubs}

Upon seeing the hands, Schoenfeld jokingly asked a floor, "If I vomit, will that incur a penalty?"

The dealer burned and turned a flop of {8-Clubs}

. No help for Eskeland. The turn {9-Spades}

made a straight for Schoenfeld, taking away Eskeland's overcard outs, but giving him a gutshot draw.

Schoenfeld started chanting, "No set, no set, no set," but made his set when the dealer delivered the {10-Hearts}

on the river. That card made Eskeland a higher straight to eliminate Schoenfeld.

"Are you kidding me?" asked a stunned Schoenfeld. "Unbelievable."

Johnny Chan came over to the table and looked at the board. "Split?" he asked. Then he noticed the hands and offered Schoenfeld his sympathy.
