Tom Schneider Eliminated in 13th Place ($10,317)

Shamus

Stud-8

Norman Chad brought it in, Tom Schneider completed, Yuval Bronshtein called, and Chad called as well. It checked to Schneider on fourth and fifth, and when he bet both of his opponents called, the last bet putting Schneider all in. Chad then check-called Bronshtein's bets on both sixth and seventh.

Schneider: {x-} {x-} / {5-Clubs} {8-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} / {x-}
Bronshtein: {x-} {x-} / {9-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {K-Clubs} / {x-}
Chad: {x-} {x-} / {2-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts} / {x-}

Schneider tabled {6-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} — he'd made an eight-high straight and had a 7-6-5-4-2 low. Pretty good both ways, it seemed.

But Bronshtein's {A-Spades} {10-Clubs} {9-Spades} meant he'd made a better high with an ace-high straight. And Chad's {6-Clubs} {4-Spades} {3-Hearts} meant he'd drawn a 6-4-3-2-A low, thus sending the unlucky Schneider out in 13th.
