May the Schwartz Be With You

Ylon Schwartz was the victor of a large pot, over 1,000,000 chips, against Edward Roger. We didn't see the preflop action, but we did see Schwartz's last action on the {J-Clubs} {j-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} flop -- an all-in raise of 309,000. Roger made the call with {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}, and was in bad shape against Schwartz's {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}. They held up when the turn {J-Spades} meant Roger was drawing dead. The {4-Diamonds} completed the board.

Schwartz now has about 1,000,000 chips. Roger slipped to 755,000.
