Strzemp Closes in on Schwartz

John Strzemp
John Strzemp
John Strzemp is seemingly unstoppable at the moment. Whilst we were reporting his double through, he added another couple of hundred thousand to his stack with a turned straight against Jason Young.

Then, a few hands later, Mike Schwartz limped on the button, Young made up the blind and Strzemp checked providing us with a rare three-way pot.

Both checked the {3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} flop only for Schwartz to bet 120,000 on the {Q-Hearts} turn once his two foes had checked. Young folded, but Strzemp called.

Strzemp checked the {A-Hearts} on the river, Schwartz bet 150,000 and Strzemp called.

"Good call!" exclaim certain segments of the crowd as Strzemp revealed a triumphant {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Schwartz tapped the table and mucked.

Strzemp now on 3,550,000
