On the Mike

Mike Schwartz has check-raised his way to victory, reraising his foe's 1,900 bet all in on a {4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{A-Clubs} flop.

"I think I'm going to have to call," commented Schwartz's opponent, before sliding the chips across the felt and showing {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

Schwarz, however, was in good shape, his {4-Hearts}{6-Spades} looking to avoid an ace or a ten (or, of course, running cards for the counterfeit). However, no help arrived, and we have another winner.
