Phil Laak limped in from under the gun with the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

. Luke Schwartz raised all in from the big blind to 160,000 with {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

. Laak tanked and then made the call.

"Don't f*** me, don't f*** me!" said Schwartz while pacing back and forth behind the table.

The flop came down {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

and Schwartz stayed in the lead, looking even better now.

"You're so dead here, if you miracle this it's so sick," said Schwartz.

Then just like that, the turn brought the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

to the board and Laak picked up the best card he could have asked for.

The river was the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

and Schwartz was able to survive, doubling back to 330,000 chips.

That pot was also very important for Vanessa Rousso, who is now the lone short stack.
