Schleger Slips

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Preflop action had left two players, Shane "Shaniac" Schleger in the big blind and his opponent on the button, to see the flop come {3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Schleger led for 2,300, and his opponent called. The turn brought the {2-Hearts}, and this time Schleger checked. His opponent bet 3,700, and Schleger called.

The river brought the {6-Clubs} and another check from Schleger. This time his opponent bet 11,200 and Schleger called once more. His opponent showed {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} -- he'd rivered sixes full of eights -- and Schleger mucked.

Shaniac falls back to 15,300 after that one.
