Jake Schindler raised to 80,000 from middle position and was called in two spots. Joao Vieira called from the cutoff seat, and Mustapha Kanit called from the big blind.

The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{7-Spades}, and Kanit checked. Schindler also checked, and then Vieira bet 140,000. After Kanit folded, Schindler made the call.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds}, and Schindler checked. Vieira fired a bet of 295,000, and Schindler called.

The river was the {A-Clubs}, and Schindler moved all in, and effective shove worth 820,000 as that's what Vieira had left. Vieira didn't look like he liked it and began to tank. After a couple of minutes, he folded, and Schindler won the pot.

On the very next hand after chopping an all in against Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst Ole Schemion was all in again. Selbst raised to 80,000 and folded when Schemion pushed all his chips over the line.

On the hand following this one Greg Merson raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Schemion picked up the pot with a three-bet to 190,000 from the button.

Schemion is not slowing down and his chip position is a lot more comfortable than in the previous level.
