Pauli Doubles Through Schamaun
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Martin Schamaun made it 55,000 to play from under the gun and was looked up by Andrew Barber in the small blind and Sebastian Pauli in the big blind.
The flop came 2♣4♠7♦, and Barber checked to Pauli, who bet out for 150,000, which left him just 5,000 behind. Schamaun raised to 300,000, which found a fold from Barber.
The clock was called on Pauli, and with five seconds left, he tossed in his last 5,000 chip to put his tournament life at risk.
Sebastian Pauli: A♠9♣8♦7♣
Martin Schamaun: A♥A♣5♥4♣
Schamaun was ahead and had the back-door club draw covered. The J♦ turn didn't change affairs, nor did the9♠ on the river, and Pauli was sent packing.
