"We Can See Your Cards"

[user46392]

Schwartz limped and Young checked, so they saw a {K-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} flop, which they checked, thus leading them to see a {4-Spades} turn. Young checked it but Schwartz bet 375,000, which Young quickly called. They both checked the {8-Clubs} river, and Schwartz' {6-Clubs} {4-Hearts} was the winning hand.

Young took the next hand, raising from the button and Schwartz folding {2-Diamonds} {4-Spades} up. Then it was Schwartz' turn to button-raise to steal the blinds.

At this point one of the gentlemen at the rail tapped Schwartz on the shoulder, and informed him that everyone at the rail could see his hole cards (Schwartz has his back to the rail, and although the crowd has rather thinned, there are still spectators watching). The cheerful Schwartz didn't seem to mind in the slightest, though.

Both players see a {9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} flop.

Mike Schwartz bets 220,000, Jason Young calls.

The {9-Spades} turn and {J-Clubs} river are both checked down.

Schwartz wins with {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades} versus {A-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Still Close

On a {6-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} flop, Mike Schwartz bets 280,000.

"Is that 280,000?" observes Jason Young.

"Goooooood counting," replies Schwartz.

On that note, Young calls.

Turn = {9-Clubs}

Glancing briefly at his opponent, Schwartz dips into his stack and pulls out a bet of 500,000.

Without too much hesitation, Young folds, showing the {Q-Spades} in the process.

"That must have been a lousy kicker," comments Schwartz, elongating the word "lousy."

Is It Over? Not Quite...

Michael Schwartz picked up a few chips in small pots, so he was slight chip leader when the following happened.

He limped, and Young made it another 400,000 from the blind. Schwartz called.

Young bet out 750,000 on the {J-Spades} {10-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} flop, and Schwartz called.

The turn came the {4-Clubs}, and Young went all in. Schwartz got out of his seat and strolled around the table, perplexed. Eventually he declared, "I think you have A-10. I call."

Schwartz: {J-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}
Young: {A-Spades} {J-Hearts}

River: {3-Hearts}

And Jason Young is whooping and high-fiving everyone, kissing the dealer, shaking hands, and he's actually picked up the bracelet when the TD informs him that Schwartz has change. In fact, that he'll be all in on the blind next hand...

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.

Young: {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs}
Schwartz: {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}

Board: {A-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {5-Spades} {J-Hearts} {3-Hearts}

Schwartz has somehow doubled through again, up to a respectable and bracelet-contending 3.4 million.

Jason Young is most unhappy.

Fussy Kisser

During one on the double ups, Jason Young turned to the dealer he ambushed earlier and announced, "I'm not kissing you again." Either he doesn't believe the dealer is as lucky as he first thought, or maybe she slipped him the tongue.
