Schindler Avoids Bubble

Jacob Schindler was all in against Daniel Negreanu with the board reading {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Schindler's {j-Spades}{6-Spades} was behind Negreanu's {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}, and fell even further behind when the turn brought the {k-Spades}.

Schindler was drawing to one of two sixes, and amazingly the {6-Diamonds} spiked on the river.

"I knew it," Negreanu professed. "I felt it in my heart."

Schindler doubled to 85,000, and we will still be hand-for-hand once we return from dinner break.
