"January $100,000 II" (Flight 1A): Bernard Schmidt Making Most Of Earlier Good Fortune

"January $100,000 II"
$250 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 7 (Blinds 250/500/75)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 77


A few levels ago, Bernard Schmidt (Naples, FL) was thinking about potentially re-entering...now he's thinking about bagging one of the top stacks.

Before the first break of the day, Bernard Schmidt (Naples, FL) was all-in pre-flop, for his remaining 3,300.  He was the last player to call after four others were all-in, strictly playing the hand for the incredible odds he was getting.  His 9♠ 7 was the last place hand before the board ran out, well behind other hands like A♠ A♣ and A K♠.  

The flop would come out 7♠ 7♣ 6, and Schmidt would grab a lead that never would be relinquished.  While there were side pots to work out, Bernard won the main pot, which was worth just over 15,000.  Schmidt has trended in the right direction since, chipping up to over 45,000, after just scooping in another pot.  On a board of 6♠ J J 6♣ K♠, Schmidt check-called bets on the flop and turn, eventually getting value on a river bet with his J♠ 10♣.  

Bernard Schmidt - 47,000 (94bb)
