The action was folded around to Clint Schaefer in the small blind and he raised to 150,000. Toni Cristian min-raised to 300,000 and Schaefer made the call. The two players checked the {J-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} flop, but when the {K-Spades} turned Schaefer bet 250,000 and Cristian called. The {J-Diamonds} fell on the river, Schaefer decided to check, and Cristian came out with a 400,000 bet, which was good enough to get Schaefer to surrender his hand. Cristian is now up to 4.1 million and Schaefer sits with 3.3 million.
