Schindler Making a Run

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jake Schindler
Jake Schindler

Earlier in the day, Jake Schindler had fallen below starting stack but has since worked his way back into contention. On a board reading {k-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, the big blind checked to Schindler who tossed in a bet of 27,000. His opponent called and Schindler flipped over {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for a flush which was good enough to beat his opponent's {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Schindler raked in the pot and is closing in on the 200,000 chip mark now. The money bubble is on the horizon, just four eliminations away, and Schindler has put himself in a great position to make the money after bubbling the $100,000 High Roller earlier this series.

Arne Ruge: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Ruge's pair of aces took down the pot.

Karmatckii checked again and Moshe tossed in another bet of 44,000. Karmatckii still called and the innocent {2-Diamonds} completed the board. Both players knuckled the table and Karmatckii tabled {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for two pair to rake in the pot.

Bicknell Recovers Most of Her Chips

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Picking up the action on the river with the board reading {k-}{q-}{8-}{2-}{5-} and around 60,000 in the middle, the action was on Kristen Bicknell who bet the majority of her chips. Bicknell bet 35,000 with only around 5,000 left behind. Her opponent thought for a minute and then stuck in a chip to make the call.

Bicknell whipped over {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} for top two pair and his opponent mucked his cards. "I had a king. I knew you had that though," he said to Bicknell who just smiled after getting back most of her chips she lost earlier.

Dominik Nitsche: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Seidel was able to dodge an ace. He scored himself a full double up and Nitsche was left with under 5,000 after the hand.
