Chip and a Chair
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Just moments ago, Robbie Verspui was cut down to 120,000 chips, just four big blinds at the time. However, less than an hour later he has just doubled again to 1.2 million!
Our chip leader, Mark Schmid, raised from middle position to 90,000. Verspui was waiting on the button and quietly told the dealer he was all in. The blinds got out of the way and Schmid had it counted down. It was 555,000 which was apparently a good price for Schmid as he decided to risk about a fifth of his stack.
Verspui:
Schmid:
The flop was a clean but it did give Schmid a backdoor flush draw that became much more powerful when the turn was the . Any spade or Jack would send home Verspui but it bricked with the and the comeback is on.
