"We Can See Your Cards"

Schwartz limped and Young checked, so they saw a {K-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} flop, which they checked, thus leading them to see a {4-Spades} turn. Young checked it but Schwartz bet 375,000, which Young quickly called. They both checked the {8-Clubs} river, and Schwartz' {6-Clubs} {4-Hearts} was the winning hand.

Young took the next hand, raising from the button and Schwartz folding {2-Diamonds} {4-Spades} 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.
