Schwippert Gets Paid with Full House

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Jan-Eric Schwippert
Jan-Eric Schwippert

Jan-Eric Schwippert opened to 200,000 from early position and Alex Sampirisi defended in the big blind.

On the AKJ flop, Samprisi check-called versus a bet of 100,000 from his opponent.

The turn brought the 6, and Samprisi check-called again versus a bet of 600,000 from Schwippert, after a reasonable period of thought.

The 6 river completed the board. Schwippert fired out a bet of 1,700,000 when it was checked to him, and after around three minutes of thought, Samprisi made what appeared to be a crying call. He was shown the bad news when Schwippert showed AA for the nut full house.
