Schultz-Pedersen Gives and Takes

Level 8 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Johan Schultz-Pedersen opened to 16,000 from middle position and saw a single call from Eric Tsai in the cutoff.

The 55J flop was check-called by Schultz-Pedersen after Tsai bet 17,000.

A 3 was turned and Schultz-Pedersen checked. Tsai asked for 55,000 and Schultz-Pedersen mucked his hand.

A few hands later Pavel Plesuv opened to 16,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Schultz-Pedersen in the big blind who defended.

The A810 flop was check-called by Schultz-Pedersen after facing a 26,000 bet by Plesuv.

A J turn saw Schultz-Pedersen check-call another 66,000 bet by Plesuv to see the 2 complete the board.

Schultz-Pedersen checked, and Plesuv used a time bank card before correctly checking behind. Schultz-Pedersen showed KJ and took the pot after Plesuv mucked his hand.
