More Donkey Bomber Risin'

2007 WSOP Player of the Year Tom "Donkey Bomber" Schneider continued his climb through the first two levels. Schneider picked up another knockout and climbed to 13,500 in a hand in which three players saw a {2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop. A middle-position player bet 425 and Schneider, from late position, and an early-position player both called.

The {Q-Diamonds} turn went check-check to Schneider, who fired out 1,000. The early-position player folded, but the initial raiser check-raised all-in for 1,950, which Schneider called. The MP player showed {8-Spades}{6-Spades}, while Schneider's {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} was just one kicker-pip better. The nine played, too, when the river brought the {J-Hearts}.
