Few Flops Apparent

Schwartz raises under the gun to steal the blinds.

-------

Monahan raises to 150,000 from the button, but is called by Schwartz in the big blind. Schwartz bets out 175,000 on the {K-Spades} {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} and Monahan folds. He's pretty short now, down to around 350,000.

-------

Now it's Strzemp's turn to steal the blinds, with a raise to 175,000 under the gun.

-------

Some action here: Schwartz limps in under the gun, Monahan makes up the blind, and big blind Strzemp raises 150,000. To which Schwartz reraises another 800,000. Monahan insta-folds, and with an expression that says, "Yikes!" Strzemp folds too.
