Hand #134 - Chopped Pot between Ylon Schwartz and Peter Eastgate | 2008 WSOP Main Event - The Final Table

Peter Eastgate has the button in Seat 9. He raises yet again to 1.5 million. Ylon Schwartz reraises from the big blind to 4.6 million, almost one-third of his stack. Eastgate is not afraid; he quickly moves all in. Schwartz just as quickly calls all in for his tournament life, a total of about 15 million.

Schwartz: {A-Spades}

Eastgate:

This is the second time today that two players have gotten the chips in preflop with both holding Big Slick. The previous pot resulted in a chop between Chino Rheem and Kelly Kim, but not without some drama; Rheem flopped a four-flush, causing Kim to have to sweat the turn and river.

History repeats itself, with a flop of {9-Diamonds}

. Once again the short stack has to sweat two cards. If a diamond hits the turn or river, Ylon Schwartz's Main Event run will be over.

The turn is the {7-Clubs}

; one successful dodge in the books. The turn is the {5-Clubs}

, and Schwartz can stop holding his breath. He's still in the game.
