Schneiders Stays Alive
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Felix Schneiders having played the short stack for most of the day jammed all of his chips in 14,200 and found two calls from the sizeable stacks of Eugenio Bastos and Marcos Thielke.
The flop came 2♥9♦4♥ and Thielke bet 17,500 with Bastos making the call.
The turn brought the K♣ and again Thielke bet, this time 32,000 and his big stacked opponent made the fold.
Schneiders at risk turned over K♠K♦ for the turned set of kings and Bastos showed 8♣8♦ and was drawing dead on the river.
The PokerStars Ambassador stayed alive in the main event and his patience all day finally paid off.
