Michael Schwartz Eliminated in 11th Place ($36,106)

Michael Schwartz had just survived an anxiety-filled hand when Ted Forrest decided to fold rather than look him up. (Later Schwartz said to Forrest, "Stop reading me like a book!") Schwartz was at 125,000 after that hand.

On the next hand, Schwartz limped from the small blind and Frank Vizza called from the big blind. The flop came {A-Diamonds}

. Schwartz bet 20,000 and Vizza called. The turn was the {10-Spades}

and Schwartz quickly bet pot -- 64,000 -- leaving himself only about 30,000 behind. Vizza thought a moment, then raised to put Schwartz all in. Schwartz called.

Schwartz showed {A-Spades}

for top pair and a flush draw. Vizza showed {Q-Clubs}

for queens and sixes. The river didn't help Schwartz, and he's out. Vizza is back up to 420,000.

They are redrawing for the final ten-handed table. One more elimination and we're done for the night.
