One Very Good Turn for Ylon Schwartz

From the cutoff Ylon Schwartz raised to 255,000 and after Paul Snead called on the button Scott Montgomery did the same from the big blind. The flop came {K-Hearts} {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} and after Montgomery checked Schwartz bet 380,000. Snead then raised to 1.2 million and after Montgomery folded Schwartz thought for a good bit before making the call.

The turn brought the {K-Clubs}. Schwartz bet 900,000 and Snead quickly announced he was all in. Schwartz instantly called and everyone quickly learned that Ylon's {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} had taken the lead back from Snead's {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}. The river brought the {7-Hearts} and Schwartz won a 3 million pot.
