And Jason Young is whooping and high-fiving everyone, kissing the dealer, shaking hands, and he's actually picked up the bracelet when the TD informs him that Schwartz has change. In fact, that he'll be all in on the blind next hand...
Mike Schwartz -- 4,400,000
flop, Mike Schwartz bets 280,000."Is that 280,000?" observes Jason Young.
"Goooooood counting," replies Schwartz.
On that note, Young calls.

Glancing briefly at his opponent, Schwartz dips into his stack and pulls out a bet of 500,000.
Without too much hesitation, Young folds, showing the
in the process."That must have been a lousy kicker," comments Schwartz, elongating the word "lousy."

The
turn and river are both checked down.Schwartz wins with
versus 
flop, which they checked, thus leading them to see a turn. Young checked it but Schwartz bet 375,000, which Young quickly called. They both checked the river, and Schwartz' 
was the winning hand.Young took the next hand, raising from the button and Schwartz folding
up. Then it was Schwartz' turn to button-raise to steal the blinds.At this point one of the gentlemen at the rail tapped Schwartz on the shoulder, and informed him that everyone at the rail could see his hole cards (Schwartz has his back to the rail, and although the crowd has rather thinned, there are still spectators watching). The cheerful Schwartz didn't seem to mind in the slightest, though.
Flop =
Check, check.
Turn =
Check, check.
River =
Check, ch... no, hold on, a bet from Schwartz, to the tune of 500,000.
After smiling and glancing over at his buddy on the rail, Young sighs and announces, "Go on, I call."
Whilst Young has just ace high with
, so does Schwartz, but with a better kicker, his non-check with on the river looking like a successful and well-timed value bet.

flop, and Young folds. A pot for Schwartz.Then they limp/check a
board all the way down, until Young turns over to win it. A pot for Young.They then limp/check all the way down a
board, until Young bets around 550,000 from the button. He doesn't announce an amount or count them out, he just grabs a handful and pushes them forward. "Slow-playing your quads?" jokes Schwartz, and folds. A pot for Schwartz.
Flop =
Schwartz checks, Young announces all in for a massive overbet.
Schwartz, somewhat caught off guard, pauses and begins to mull over the possibility that he's facing a flush draw. After a short bout of table talk, we learn that Schwartz has second pair.
"Ace-nine of clubs?" asks Schwartz. Young shrugs.
Eventually he opts for the fold and asks, "Was I close?"
"Not even in the right ballpark," replies Young.
Schwartz down to 2,900,000. Down, but not out.
