Schleger Rolls the Dice

We have a feeling that Shane Schleger may have decided he was in a good spot to gamble. After James Taylor opened to 8,000 from early position, Schleger reraised to 25,000. That second raise folded all other players back to Taylor, who moved all in for about 104,000.

The raise of 79,000 represented about two-thirds of Schleger's remaining stack. He put it up for grabs and opened {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades}. Taylor showed {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}, a hand which held up on a jack-high board. Schleger slipped down to 49,000 while Taylor is robusto with 210,000.
