Chris Schmidt (New York Free Poker)

The players are now on a 15 minute color up break. Just before the break we caught up to the action when Chris Schmidt was all in for 38,800. A player made the call and it was a classic coin flip situation with Schmidt’s tournament life at risk.

Schmidt: 5♠5♦
Opponent: A♠K♣

The board ran out clean for Schmidt and he was able to double his stack as the players left the room for the break.
