Marcel Schreiner has been chipping away at Matt Yates again, taking down three pots in a row without going to a flop and then getting Matt Yates to fold on the turn of a board showing 
.
The next hand after that would see Schreiner raise preflop and then continue his aggression on a flop showing 
and Yates would again send his cards flying into the muck and a pot into Schreiner's hands.

There hasn't been a whole lot of action the last couple of hands but both players have been showing relentless aggression with lots raising and re-raising preflop. It is actually tough to remember the last time these two players had a showdown during this heads-up match.

Marcel Schreiner has just won another three hands in a row, chipping away at Yates yet again.
The first hand saw Schreiner three-bet to 122,000 after Yates opened to 48,000 on the button. Yates called and the 
flop fell. Schreiner led for 105,000 on the flop and Yates sent his cards into the muck.
The next hand saw a similar hand play out, except on a flop showing 
and the next hand would see Yates simply give Schreiner a walk, perhaps not wanting to play another flop with the German!

Marcel Schreiner seem to be simply grinding away at Matt Yates, with Schreiner managing to gather a nice chip lead over the last 10 minutes.
Schreiner has not had to show one hand out of the last 15, winning 12 of these hands without going to showdown, getting Yates to fold either preflop, or once the cards have been dealt. It may be too early to call this a domination, but so far it is Schreiner who has definitely got the egde over Yates.
