The Bigger they are the Harder they Fall

Bad Day at the Office
Bad Day at the Office
Brian Schaedlich started today as the big chip leader. How a day spent around the baize can change things. He leaves today with just 22,000 in his bag. The final damage was done in a hand versus Jens Klaning. Chips were already in the middle and the rest went in once the turn had been dealt, giving us a {9-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {5-Spades} {J-Spades} board.

Schaedlich flipped over {J-Hearts} {K-Hearts} for top pair and second-nut flush draw. Klaning tabled {5-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} for two pair. The river {A-Diamonds} changed not a thing, meaning the 665,000 goes the way of Klaning.

After the hand a philosophical Schaedlich blamed Mike Matusow for drawing an eight rather than a five earlier.
