Diamonds, WSOP POYs, Don't Deter

A player in the hijack seat raised to 325, the cutoff called, and 2007 WSOP Player of the Year Tom Schneider also called from the button.

The flop came single-suited -- {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. The original raiser bet 550, the player in the cutoff folded, and Schneider called. The turn was the {J-Hearts}. Schneider's opponent reached for chips, then stopped. He thought a moment and checked. Schneider bet 1,650, and his opponent called.

The river was the {3-Spades} and the player in the hijack seat immediately checked. Schneider considered for a bit, then checked as well.

Schneider's opponent showed {9-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for nines and treys. Schneider studied the board for a moment, then mucked. He's currently at 18,000.
