Reverse The Roles

New chip leader, Matt Yates
New chip leader, Matt Yates

The roles have been reversed here during heads-up play at the 2011 APPT Queenstown Main Event, with Matt Yates finally managing to gain the lead over Marcel Schreiner after holding a big chip deficit for much of the battle.

The action started when Marcel Schreiner raised to 75,000 from the button. Schreiner then raised to 185,000 and Yates made the call.

The {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds} would see Schreiner lead out for 175,000 and when Yates made the call, a big pot was building as the {6-Hearts} was dealt on the turn. The six would see Schreiner lead again, this time for 345,000. Yates then pretty quickly moved all-in for 571,000 and Schreiner looked pained as he realized he might be beat.

When Schreiner made the call his {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} would be behind the {k-Clubs}{10-Spades} of Yates and when the river bricked with the {4-Diamonds} the massive pot went to Yates, while Schreiner now sits in need of help.
