Schlein Rivered for a Chop

[user75032]

We give Scott Bohlman credit for trying. After Josh Schlein opened for a raise from the cutoff, Bohlman three-balled the button. That pushed out both blinds and once Schlein called, it left Schlein and Bohlman heads up.

Schlein was all in on a flop of {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{q-Spades}

. Bohlman called with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

, having made nothing but a low draw. Schlein showed a pair of eights, {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

. Each player paired the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

turn; when the river came {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

it was a chopped pot. Schlein took the high with aces and eights, while Bohlman got the low with a live trey.

Strangely, the active Fabio Coppola was not involved in that pot at all.
