Schaal-In with Worse

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With Austin Schaal having opened the action to 2,600 from the hijack, the small blind jammed his last 10 big blinds for 12,000 on the nose.

Schaal took his time doing some mental math, pointing to the pot and looking at his opponent behind reflective orange lenses, eventually making the call.

His at-risk opponent turned over his hand before Schaal slammed down his own.

Small Blind: {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Schaal: {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The {8-Clubs} popped up in the window, pairing Schaal. "Ah. Eight on the flop," said the small blind as the dealer finished laying out {j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. "Don't worry—it's coming," said Schaal.

The small blind picked up a gutshot on the {7-Hearts} turn, and Tom Hammers shouted, "Nine on the river!" from the other end of the table. But the river was the {q-Spades}, and Schaal sent his opponent packing.
