Early Double for Schneider
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Action folded around to Paul Tedeschi in middle position, who raised to 5,000, only for Peter Schneider to three-bet to 12,000 from late position. Tedeschi called, and the players saw the flop of 8♦7♦A♠.
Tedeschi checked, and Schneider continued for 8,000. Tedeschi called, and both players checked the Q♥ that came on the turn.
The 3♦ peeled off on the river, and Tedeschi put the pressure on Schneider by leading out for 52,000, which covered Schneider's remaining chips. Schneider went into the tank for a short while and made the call, tabling A♦10♠ for top pair, which had Tedeschi's 8♠9♠ (pair of eights) crushed, and he was shipped the pot for a full double up and more.
