Schmidt Celebrates the Chop
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Tyler Schmidt opened to 60,000 from middle position, before Jason Wheeler put in a three-bet to 190,000 from the hijack. David Radich then called all in from the cutoff for the same amount, and Schmidt called, too.
On the A♥K♦2♣ flop, Schmidt snap-jammed and Wheeler snap-called.
David Radich: Q♠J♦
Tyler Schmidt: A♣J♥
Jason Wheeler: A♠Q♣
Wheeler was in prime position to knock out two opponents, but the 5♦5♥ runout had Schmidt out of his chair and celebrating. He and Wheeler then got into quite the heated debate, with the former claiming he deserved the chop, and the latter disagreeing. By the time the floor had came to confirm Radich's payout, the confrontation was still going on.
