Schwartz Cracks Kings
Level 8
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Brunno Botteon opened to 32,000 from the hijack before Noah Schwartz made it 111,000 from the cutoff. It folded back to Botteon, who shoved for 504,000. After using a time bank, Schwartz put in calling chips as the slightly bigger stack.
Bruno Botteon: K♣K♦
Noah Schwartz: A♣Q♦
Schwartz immediately took the lead, making two pair on the A♦Q♣3♥ flop, and held to scoop the pot after the 7♦ turn and 4♦ river.
“Wow, you play so well,” Nacho Barbero chimed in from the table. Schwartz replied that playing well had long since gone out the window, noting he was already into the tournament for “ten bullets.”
