Schneider Strikes Back

Ludovic Lacay opened for 60,000 from UTG, John Martin called on the button and Tom Schneider three-bet to 310,000 from the big blind. Both opponents called, creating a million-dollar pot preflop.

The flop came down {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {5-Hearts}. Schneider led out for 650,000, Lacay folded and Martin moved all in. Schneider made the call for the 1,250,000 he had behind.

Schneider turned over {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}, his overpair well ahead of Martin's top pair with {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}, the river was the {10-Hearts} and Schneider doubled up to 3,480,000 to squeals of excitement from his wife Julie, who is sweating him from the rail.
