One Table Under a Groove

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We picked up the following hand between Stanislav Barshak and Shane "Shaniac" Schleger on the turn with the board showing {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and a considerable number of chips in the middle. Schleger bet 21,000 and Barshak called, then the river brought the {10-Spades} and a quick check from Schleger. Barshak hesitated as if he wanted to bet, then exhaled and tapped the felt as well.

"Queens, a set," said Schleger, turning over {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. Barshak briefly flashed his hand -- {A-}{J-} -- and pushed his cards to the dealer.

"What a bad river," said Schelger. Then, immediately catching himself, added "I'm not complaining!"

The table all laughed in response, and there ensued a bit of ribbing of Shaniac from Shaun Deeb, which Schleger smilingly accepted, saying it was deserved.

Schleger has about 175,000 at the moment, while Barshak slips to 105,000.
