Welcome To Event #47

Welcome to the first and only mixed hold'em event of the 2009 WSOP!

Based purely in both limit and no-limit hold'em, this was the event that last year Erick Lindgren captured to win his first ever bracelet after many times of trying. Can he defend the title or will some new pretender usurp the throne?

Play will start in about five to ten minutes.

A Thew Chips

Julian Thew has taken a few chips off German blogger Klaus Hausmann after the latter had {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs} on a {K-?} {J-?} {10-?} {A-?} X board only to run into Thew's {Q-Spades} {J-Spades}

The Power Of The Schwartz Is Foiled

In the limit game, the under the gun player raises and middle position makes the call, there's a reraise from late position, Ylon Schwartz calls in the big blind and the other two players call too.

The flop is {4-Clubs} {3-Spades} {4-Spades}, Schwartz leads out for 100, under the gun raises and mid-position reraises and everyone calls.

On the {J-Clubs} turn Schwartz leads for 200 and only the middle position player calls. The river is the {7-Hearts} and Schwartz bets again, getting raised this time. He makes the call but mucks when he sees his opponent's {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts}
