Jordan Schneible relayed the following hand details to us, as explanation for how he dropped below a million in chips.

After a flop of KxQx6x with two diamonds, Jordan Schneible checked from the big blind, Joe McKeehen bet 40,000 from UTG, and Schneible called.

The turn card was an offsuit Ax, Schneible checked, McKeehen bet 160,000, and Schneible called.

The river card was the 5c, Schneible checked, McKeehen bet 360,000, and Schneible quickly called with AxQx suited for two pair, aces and queens. But McKeehen turned over Jx10x suited to win the pot with an ace-high straight.

Joe McKeehen  –  1,875,000  (94 bb)
Jordan Schneible  –  940,000  (47 bb)
