Sick Setup Launches Schulze
Felix Schulze raised to 5,400 from under the gun. A short stacked player behind him called the raise, the small blind called and Niko Wieland in the big blind called as well. On the 
flop, the small blind and Wieland checked. Schulze took a look at his left hand neighbor, who appeared antsy and ready to get his last chips in.
Schulze checked and the short stacked player shoved all in without hesitation. The small blind folded and Wieland called. Schulze then check-raised to 69,600. With the action back on Wieland, the German moved all in and Schulze snap-called to create a gigantic pot of 450,000 chips.
Felix Schulze: 
Niko Wieland: 
Short stacked player: 
It was a setup of gigantic proportions and there was nothing Wieland could do about it. His stack of over 200,000 was about to be decimated unless the one-outer would pop up.
Neither 
turn nor 
was the miracle card and Wieland had to fork over 194,500 to Schulze, who suddenly holds a massive chip lead.
