Double Slowplay

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 {A-Spades}{8-Hearts} versus {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} on an {8-Spades}{A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} 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.
