Richard Schneiderman has struck hard early against Eric Baldwin in heads-up play.

Baldwin called Schneiderman’s big blind and Schneiderman followed up with a raise to 180,000. Baldwin re-raised to 510,000 and Schneiderman countered going all-in. Baldwin folded getting Schneiderman 780,000 chips right off the bat. Schneiderman then managed to pull another 375,000 chips off Baldwin a couple of hands later and has nearly eliminated Baldwin’s lead in a matter of minutes.

Looks like we could be in for a great heads-up war here at The Venetian.
