Ask any group of poker players the way you played your hand and they’ll get a hold of dozens of various opinions. That’s just the character of the game.

Each week, Card Player will select a hand from the high-stakes, big buy-in poker world, break it down and show that there’s a couple of option to get the job done.

The Scenario

There are five players remaining in a large buy-in, live international poker tournament. You might be currently in third place and are guaranteed a minimum of €485,000 out of your initial €100,000 investment.

You are currently sitting on 2,755,000, that's worth about 27 big blinds with the blinds at 50,000-100,000 with a 10,000 ante. The chip leader has about 5,300,000, the second one biggest stack has 2,800,000 and the fast stack has about 1,700,000.

It folds to the small blind, who started the hand with 2,555,000, and he raises to 200,000. You look down at Q6 within the big blind and defend. The flop comes down 1098, providing you with a double-gutted straight draw and flush draw.

Your opponent bets 285,000, leaving himself with 2,060,000 behind. You have got him covered by just two big blinds.

The Questions

Do you call, raise or fold? What number of outs do you may have? If calling, what's your plan for the turn when you miss? What's your plan when you hit? If raising, how much? How does your position factor into your decision? Are you able to narrow your opponent’s range down in any respect given his preflop raise and continuation bet?

What Actually Happened

At the €100,000 buy-in Super High Roller event on the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo, Ole Schemion found himself facing a chance of 285,000 from Paul Newey on a flop of 1098.

Schemion opted to maximise his fold equity by moving all in. His plan backfired, however, when Newey snap-called with 88 for bottom set. Schemion needed a seven, jack or club to win the pot, and got there with the 3 at the turn.

The river was the K and Newey was eliminated in fifth place, earning €485,300. Schemion went directly to win the tournament and the $1,597,800 first-place prize. The 23-year-old poker pro now has greater than $11 million in life-time tournament earnings.
