Small Schmejkal Surge

Ernst Schmejkal had just taken a hand to push back to about 760,000 when the following one occurred.

Schmejkal raised to 40,000 from the small blind/button, and Rousso called. The flop came {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}. Rousso checked, Schmejkal bet 32,000, and Rousso called. The turn was the {6-Diamonds}. Rousso again checked, Schmejkal bet 85,000 this time, and Rousso called once more.

Rousso said she was checking dark as the dealer burned a card and delivered the {Q-Clubs} river. Schmejkal pushed out 200,000 this time, and Rousso went into the tank. She carved 200,000 out of her stack, then meticulously counted the rest to see what she'd have left if she were to call. She then removed her sunglasses and asked Schmejkal how much he had behind.

Finally, after about four minutes' worth of consideration total, she let it go.

With that one, we're moving back close to an even match once again. Rousso currently has about one million, and Schmejkal 920,000.
