Duhamel and Schleger Chop, Survive

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Jonathan Duhamel, down to a well-below-average 175,000 pushed all in from late position, and Shane "Shaniac" Schleger -- also short with just 145,000 -- called from the blinds. Duhamel showed {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} and Schleger {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}.

"You have the advantage," said Daniel Negreanu, pointing toward the 2010 WSOP Main Event champion. Then came the {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop. "No, you have the advantage," he revised himself, pointing now to Shaniac. But the turn {7-Hearts} ensured there would be a chop.

"Good hand," said Duhamel to Schleger afterwards. "I didn't like it," said Schleger. "Spades are scary."

Duhamel is still hovering under 200,000, and Schleger remains with a little over 150,000.
