Ylon Lets It Go

With the board showing {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and about 1,000 already in the middle, a player in middle position bet 450, and the action was on 2008 WSOP Main Event November Niner Ylon Schwartz.

Schwartz asked his opponent how much he had left -- 2,300, more than Schwartz's stack. The chess master who finished fourth in the '08 WSOP ME thought a half-minute longer, then let it go.

Schartz has 1,550 at present, a little over half the starting stack.
