Tough Turn for Schneider

On a flop of {A-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Spades}, Tom Schneider bet 2,000. Mark Newhouse raised to 6,000, and Schneider raised all in for just a few chips more. Newhouse called.

Schneider {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Newhouse {6-Spades}{5-Spades}

Schneider had top pair, but Newhouse had flopped the straight flush draw. The {7-Clubs} on the turn gave Newhouse his straight, making the river {K-Diamonds} inconsequential. Schneider is out, and Newhouse now has 47,000.

Still, not a bad follow-up to last year's WSOP Player of the Year performance for Schneider. He cashed five times this summer.
