Swartz Tries to Burst Bubble With Jack-Four, Then Uses Aces to Eliminate Bell

Mike Patrick

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Daniel Swartz got creative trying to burst the bubble as he jammed his big stack from the button into the small stacks in the blinds, getting a caller in Mark Lewandowski for a bit over 100,000.

Once the hands were revealed, the hand everyone in poker is talking about had the chance to burst the bubble.

Mark Lewandowski:
Daniel Swartz:

Indeed, Swartz had jammed the jack-four offsuit, but he had been picked off by aces.

The board ran out , bringing no help to Swartz as Lewandowski's aces held up to survive.

Just one hand later though, Swartz got it in again with another customer in the form of Ronald Bell for roughly another 100,000.

This time it was a straight-up cooler.

Ronald Bell:
Daniel Swartz:

It was Swartz will the aces this time, with Bell running into the worst possible situation for his kings.

The dealer gave him all the help in the world though with a flop of for a straight flush draw. Swartz held the though so a royal flush wouldn't be possible.

The turn and river however quelled the drama, awarding Swartz the pot and eliminating Bell on a very exciting bubble.

Daniel Swartz	600,000 -45,000	-45,000
Mark Lewandowski	244,000 100,000	100,000
