...Is it Over Now?

No!

The very next hand, Young limped and Schwartz checked to see a {2-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {3-Diamonds} flop, which they both checked. Schwartz bet out 400,000 on the {4-Spades} turn, and Young asked how much he had left. "It's there!" said a frustrated but still fairly jovial Schwartz. "One, two, two and a half... You've got me covered," he added, unnecessarily. Young flat-called.

The river was the {2-Diamonds} and Schwartz pushed his chips in. "Sh*t," said Young and grinned. He pulled a variety of unpleasant faces as he considered his course of action. Schwartz put on a pair of sunglasses with holographic dollar signs on the lenses, and refused Young's requests to see if he folded. He folded, and dropped down to 6.1 million.
