Katz Felts Schindler

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Maximilian Schindler
Maximilian Schindler

Cary Katz raised to 10,000 from early position with Thomas Zanot calling from the next seat. Maximilian Schindler then squeezed to 45,000 from the hijack, leaving himself just 20,000 behind. Both Katz and Zanot called.

Three players saw the 5109 flop, which checked through to the K turn. Katz bet 36,000, forcing Zanot to fold, while Schindler called off his last few chips to put himself at risk.

Maximilian Schindler: AK87 All in
Cary Katz: QJJ6

Katz had the nut straight, and Schindler was drawing dead with just one pair.

The irrelevant 4 completed the board, and Schindler became the next casualty of the PLO High Roller.
