Schindler Closes the Gap
Jake Schindler was trailing by some margin and just scooped a bigger pot against Phil Hellmuth to claim the lead, only to lose the next medium-sized pot. However, the gap is now far smaller than it had been for quite some time.
Picking up the action on the 
flop, Hellmuth checked and called a bet of 6,000. Hellmuth checked blind and called another bet of 20,000 by Schindler on the 
turn before checking in the dark once more to the 
river.
Schindler had barely put his bet in when Hellmuth already beat him into the pot. Schindler then rolled over 
for aces and sixes," and Hellmuth mucked.
"How much?" he asked and the bet was announced to be for 60,000.
"I should have just fuckin shoved the turn," Hellmuth added after he had jumped out of his chair and Schindler, with a dry voice, asked "I needed the river?"
