Schwartz Takes Care of Young

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

While we were trying to count their chips, Noah Schwartz and Justin Young decided to play a pot so we could watch. When we walked up, there was already a {10-Hearts} {9-Spades} {4-Hearts} flop on board, and it looks like Schwartz had check-called a bet of 3,300.

On the turn, the {J-Hearts} came calling, and Schwartz took the lead with a bet of 7,575. Young considered for a good while before shoving in for 17,600, and Schwarz made the call. "I just got a pair," Young lamented as he tabled {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}. Schwartz had gotten there with {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs}, and the river {8-Clubs} was safe enough to earn him the knockout.

Schwartz is up to a healthy 62,000 after that pot.
