Sleepy Schwartz Sent Home

It's been a long day for many jet-lagged players as evidenced by the recent performance of Justin Schwartz. During a lengthy hand that he wasn't involved in, Schwartz decided to rest his tired head on the table and re-charge his batteries before the next hand. Unfortunately he fell asleep and when the next hand was dealt he didn't rise from his peaceful slumber! A quick poke from Barry Greenstein and a startled Schwartz was back in action.

However he didn't last much longer, pushing all in soon after with pocket nines and running into the pocket kings of an opponent to eliminate Schwartz from the tournament and send him back to his hotel room early for some more shut-eye!
