Schwartz raises to 700,000, and Young reraises all in. Call. Just like that.

Checking Two Boards
The pace has slowed down considerably now and most of the onlooking spectators have now departed to seek their entertainment elsewhere.
The last two hands echoed the current mood. After checking down an
board, Jason Young took the pot by betting the river. "Can you beat the board?" inquired Mike Schwartz. "Because I can't."
The very next hand, the board was checked down again, including the river, Young's taking the pot with a 
on the felt. -

face-up. Young shows A-6. -

O... M... G...
After a few small scuffles, during which time Michael Schwartz calmed down a little, and Jason Young began to look increasingly frustrated, eventually they got their chips in.
Young raised all in from the button, and said, "Oh sh*t!" when Schwartz insta-called.

Board:
Schwartz has somehow doubled through again, up to a respectable and bracelet-contending 3.4 million.
Jason Young is most unhappy. -
