Cards Are Flying!

Luke Schwartz

2-7 Triple Draw

Usually we start off the day, or the level, with a post saying 'the cards are in the air'. This is of course a poker saying, frequently used to point out that play has commenced. Over on Table 449 we just literally saw a card fly as Luke Schwartz didn't catch what he was looking for.

From the cutoff Schwartz raised and Bill Chen was his opponent as he defended his big blind. Both players drew two cards and checked.

On the second draw both players took two cards again, Chen bet and Schwartz raised. Chen made the call and both players took another card. Chen bet.

"Of course you are going to bet," Schwartz sighed as he started squeezing his final card.

With a frightening roar Schwartz found out he had missed his draw and shot the card off the table. It hit the table behind him, and that's when Michael Mizrachi came checking up on the action.

"You know you can't bluff after you do that, right?" Mizrachi said with a smile after Schwartz took his loss.

"It was fifty-fifty," Schwartz said stating that he was in good shape to catch what he needed.
