"Shaniac" Slowplays and Pays the Price

[user75032]

"Never go broke in an unraised pot," Texas Dolly once said. Shane "Shaniac" Schleger may have wished he remembered that lesson. With one player limping in preflop, Schleger limped on the button. The small blind folded and Jeff Wiedenhoeft checked his option from the big blind for a three-way flop of {10-Diamonds}

.

Action checked to Schleger, who bet 8,000. Wiedenhoeft raised the minimum to 16,000. After the third player folded, Schleger fired back with a raise to 56,000. Wiedenhoeft instantly raised a third time to 135,000 and Schleger, with only 34,000 chips behind, called all in.
