Hot Start For Schindler

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Nicholas Schuman opened with a raise to 16,000 before Gerald Siemienas three-bet to 45,000 in middle position. Action folded to Jake Schindler in the cutoff and the four-bet making it 85,000. Action folded to the big blind where Christopher Merrill moved all in for 116,000 total. Schuman folded as did Siemienas and Schindler called quickly.

Jake Schindler: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Christopher Merrill: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} which didn't offer much help to Merrill and that meant he was eliminated from the tournament while Schindler took off to a hot start on Day 4 by notching an elimination and collecting the good-sized pot.
