Schneider Shows the Best

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

From middle position, Tom Schneider raised to 600 before the small blind three-bet to 1,375. Schneider called and the flop was {9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Both players checked to see the {5-Clubs} turn. This time the player from the blinds fired out 1,200 which was called by Schneider. The river was the {7-Hearts} and this time both players checked. The aggressor showed just {a-}{k-} but Schneider flipped over {q-Spades}{j-Hearts} for top pair, good enough to take the pot. Schneider now has 11,500 chips.
