Mercier and Johnson Chop Up Schindler
Stud Games: 20,000-60,000, 60,000-120,000, 15,000 Ante
Omaha Hi-Lo
Maximilian Schindler raised in early position, with Marco Johnson making the call on his left. Jason Mercier came along in the cutoff, and Scott Seiver defended his big blind.
Seiver checked the 5♠7♦10♦ flop, and Schindler continued with a bet. Johnson then raised and Mercier called. After taking a moment, Seiver let his hand go and Schindler called.
The 6♠ turn saw Schindler check to Johnson, who bet again. Mercier called, as did Schindler. Another check from Schindler followed the 6♦ river, and Johnson bet one last time. Mercier called, while Schindler took some time before sliding in his calling chips.
Johnson tabled A♦9♠8♦3♠ for a flush to take the high, while Mercier showed A♥9♦6♣2♦ for an inferior flush with the nut low. That left Schindler mucking his cards, as the pot was chopped on his left.
