Back To Evens

[user162117]

Heads-Up play is almost back to even in chips

A double-up has evened out the chip counts here at the 2011 APPT Queenstown Main Event, with Marcel Schreiner managing to wake up with {a-Diamonds} {a-Spades} in the big blind while sitting behind the short stack.

If waking up with aces with the short stack wasn't enough, then waking up with the aces and faced with all-in shove from your opponent would be. That is exactly what Yates did and when Schreiner snapped him off, Yates would turn over his {a-Clubs} {j-Clubs}

The {q-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {5-Clubs} would give Yates a big club-sweat and when the {10-Spades} hit the turn it was more outs for Yates and he was one card away from the victory. However, it wasn't meant to be as the meaningless {5-Spades} landed on the river to send the big double-up to Schreiner.
