Better Straight for Schmejkal

Ernst Schmejkal
Ernst Schmejkal

In one of the last hands of the previous level (5,000/10,000 blinds), Ernst Schmejkal opened with a raise to 22,000, and Vanessa Rousso called. The flop came {8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Rousso checked, Schmejkal bet 21,000, and Rousso called. Both then checked the {J-Spades} turn.

The river was the {K-Diamonds}. Rousso checked, and Schmejkal took his time before betting 60,000. Rousso called, tabling {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for the bottom end of the straight. Schmejkal had {Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, though, and took the pot.

Schmejkal chips back to 820,000, still behind Rousso's 1.1 million.
