Battle of the Chip Leaders
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Michael Schlittler opened to 80,000 in middle position and got called by big blind Jerome Neppl to see a flop. The flop came 10♦K♣J♠.
Both players checked leading them to the 7♥ turn. Neppl resumed action with 120,000 and Schlittler hung on.
After a check, Schlittler fired 230,000 sending Neppl to the tank. Leaning back, he stared at Schlittler, who looked calm and cool. Neppl finally mucked his hand and asked, "Ace-queen?"
Schlittler replied that he had ace-king which seemed to satisfy Neppl.
