Schwartz Comes Out on Top in Huge Pre-Flop All In
Action folded to Noah Schwartz on the button who raised to 55,000 only to see Alexander Stewart three-bet from the big blind to 175,000.
Schwartz entered the tank and counted out his chips as he thought through his action. After a couple of minutes, he jokingly said to the dealer, "It's a bounty tournament, right?" before deciding to slide his chips forward for a four-bet all in worth around 340,000.
Stewart quickly called to put Schwartz at risk and headed to a runout.
Noah Schwartz: J♦J♥10♦10♣
Alexander Stewart: A♦K♦7♥7♠
Schwartz was ahead going to the flop and when it came down 4♥J♣K♥, he found himself in an ever bigger lead over Stewart.
The 2♦ turn meant that Stewart was drawing dead going to the inconsequential Q♣ river as Schwartz secured a full double to move up in the counts.
