Noah Schwartz has been whittling away at the stack of Dan Fleyshman, and we picked up the latest pot as the latter opened to 24,000 from his button. Schwartz defended, and the two men checked through the 
flop. On the 
turn, Schwartz took the lead with 25,000, and Fleyshman called to see the 
fill out the board. Schwartz stacked up more chips and slid 45,000 of them into the pot, drawing a long tank from his opponent. Fleyshman mumbled to himself for a bit, then hopped off the fence and dropped the call into the pot.
Schwartz tabled 
for top pair, and it was good enough to earn him the pot and extend his chip lead well beyond 2:1.
