Pelton Felted

Shamus

Joe Pelton raised to 600 from under the gun, and it folded back around to Shane "Shaniac" Schleger who called from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way.

The flop came {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{J-Spades}

. Schleger checked, and Pelton bet 1,000. Schleger paused for a bit, then check-raised to 3,100. Pelton quickly announced he was all in. "Call," said Schleger. No hesitation that time.

Schleger turned over {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{9-Spades}

-- he'd flopped the nut flush. Pelton showed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

. The turn was the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

and the river the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

, and Pelton was eliminated.

Schleger is up to 40,000.
