Is it Over? No!

Schwartz raises to 500,000, and Young reraises all in. Schwartz stands up, and contemplates.

Eventually, he folds {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} face-up. Young shows A-6.

Checking Two Boards

The pace has slowed down considerably now and most of the onlooking spectators have now departed to seek their entertainment elsewhere.

The last two hands echoed the current mood. After checking down an {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{K-Hearts} board, Jason Young took the pot by betting the {A-Hearts} river. "Can you beat the board?" inquired Mike Schwartz. "Because I can't."

The very next hand, the board was checked down again, including the river, Young's {4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} taking the pot with a {5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades} on the felt.

Michael Schwartz Eliminated in Second Place ($209,527)

Schwartz raises to 700,000, and Young reraises all in. Call. Just like that.

And it's a gigantic, bracelet-sized coinflip.

Schwartz: {4-Hearts} {4-Spades}
Young: {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}

Board: {6-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}

And after one of the most impressive and dramatic comebacks ever, it's all over for Michael Schwartz, and a massively relieved Jason Young can finally pick up that bracelet and take it home.
