Schaaf Flushed Below 500K

Level 17 : 500/2,000, 4,000 ante

A player on the button opened for 10,000 on the button and James Schaaf responded by making it 25,000 to go from the small blind. The button player called.

The flop came {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Schaaf checked, which resulted in an all-in for about 95,000 from his opponent. Schaaf snap called.

Schaaf: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}
Opponent: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Schaaf was a decent favorite to take an even more dominating chip lead, but the {5-Diamonds} turn gave his opponent a flush. The {6-Clubs} river bricked for Schaaf, who, despite losing the sizable pot, is still chip leader with about 430,000.
