Both players checked on the {J-Diamonds} on the turn and the third jack hit the river: {J-Clubs}. Froehlich made a bet and the big blind made the call after some thinking.

Off the Schneid

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Mike Schneider started the day with a very small stack, but has since run it up to 23,000 chips.

In a recent hand with Aaron Ogus, Ogus raised in late position and Schneider three-bet. Ogus called, the check-called a bet on the {7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop. Both players checked when the {5-Spades} turned, and Ogus led out after the {9-Clubs} completed the board. Schneider contemplated the call for 30 seconds or so, then flipped forward a handful of purple T500 chips.

"Missed," Ogus said, showing {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

Schneider opened up {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for ten-high, and raked in the pot.
