Schmidt Spikes the River to Double
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Niklas Astedt raised to 8,000 in the hijack before Fabian Schmidt three-bet to 24,000 in the cutoff. Marcelo Bonanata called on the button, as did Astedt and they went three-handed to the 2?5?4? flop.
Action checked to Manfredini who bet 40,000. Astedt folded, but Schmidt burned through two time banks before shoving all in for 102,000. Bonanata snap-called.
Fabian Schmidt: 10?10?
Marcelo Bonanata: K?K?
Schmidt was far behind Bonanata's kings heading to the A? turn as he was one card away from elimination. The river, though, was the 10? and Schmidt made a set to double up.
"What's up with these rivers today?" tablemate Viktor Jensen said.
