No groundbreaking pots as of yet, just blind stealing and the odd walk. I did catch an interesting hand between Mike Schwartz and Jason Young though, both players slow-playing big hands. Somehow versus on an board was checked all the way down to the river where Schwartz's bet of 75,000 was smooth-called by Young's top pair.
"Boy, I could have gone bust on that hand, but just lost 75,000," commented Young after the hand.
On the final hand before the agreed dinner break, Mike Schwartz folds the button (after asking how long was left and decided to "wait till after dinner"), Jason Young makes up the small blind and John Strzemp checks.
Michael Schwartz, meanwhile, is on fire. He called Young's 100,000 bet on a board, limp/checked up until the turn, and then took the pot with a 300,000 bet on the river.
-------
He took some more chips away from Young a couple of hands later. Young on the button limped, and Strzemp made up the blind. Big Blind Schwartz made it another 150,000, and Young called.
Schwartz bet out on the flop, and Young looked down at his hand. "I'm not showing you," he said, "But nice hand," and folded. Said Schwartz, "I show you because I like you," and flipped over .
Strzemp has taken another hit, this time dropping him down to 1.5 million. He check-raised Young's 125,000 bet on a flop to 425,000, before laying it down swiftly to Young's all in.
