Big Hands Put Schleger in Good Shape

Shane Schleger just won two big hands to put himself over double starting stack here early on in Level 2 of the $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em.

In this particular hand, Schleger raised to 100 on the button and got a call from the player in the big blind.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and the big blind bet 175. Schleger called.

The turn was the {4-Hearts}, the big blind bet 350, and Schleger again just elected to call.

The river was the {7-Hearts}, and the big blind player made a big bet of 1,000. Schleger put the pressure on and raised it to 2,000. The big blind folded and Schleger took down his second big pot in a row (the previous hand he won a big pot with trip eights).
