Schwartz Left Guessing

Jason Young raises it up to 250,000 preflop and Mike Schwartz calls.

Flop = {K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Schwartz checks, Young announces all in for a massive overbet.

Schwartz, somewhat caught off guard, pauses and begins to mull over the possibility that he's facing a flush draw. After a short bout of table talk, we learn that Schwartz has second pair.

"Ace-nine of clubs?" asks Schwartz. Young shrugs.

Eventually he opts for the fold and asks, "Was I close?"

"Not even in the right ballpark," replies Young.

Schwartz down to 2,900,000. Down, but not out.
