Painter Makes the Right Laydown as Schulze Climbs Again
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Jameson Painter made it 200,000 with Q♣Q♥ from early position and Sebastian Schulze three-bet A♥K♣ in the hijack to 600,000. When it got back to Painter, he called.
Both players hit top pair on the 4♣A♦7♣ flop, where Painter check-called a bet of 400,000 from Schulze to see the 2♠ turn. Painter tapped the table once more, then Schulze fired 1,500,000. Painter slowly reached for chips and made the call.
A 6♥ on the river was as clean as they come for Schulze, and the action was on him after Painter checked. Painter had 4,700,000 remaining and Schulze wanted all of it as he shoved, putting Painter to the test. It only took around 30 seconds for Painter to lay down his ace-queen, and he'll be thankful he did when he watches it back.
