Ylon Schwartz In the Field

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

The Giant may be primarily aimed at recreational players, setting an affordable buy-in and scheduling it to work around family and work commitments, but a number of professional players can see the value and the fun of playing this event.

Ylon Schwartz is in the field today, perhaps most famous for his fourth-place finish in the 2008 Main Event in 2008 for $ 3,794,974.

In a recent hand, Schwartz opened for 700 and picked up calls from the players in the blinds.

The flop of {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs} did not tempt Schwartz into a continuation bet. The turn card {3-Spades} saw a 1,100 bet from the player on the small blind and that took the pot.
