Is It Over? Not Quite...

Michael Schwartz picked up a few chips in small pots, so he was slight chip leader when the following happened.

He limped, and Young made it another 400,000 from the blind. Schwartz called.

Young bet out 750,000 on the {J-Spades} {10-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} flop, and Schwartz called.

The turn came the {4-Clubs}, and Young went all in. Schwartz got out of his seat and strolled around the table, perplexed. Eventually he declared, "I think you have A-10. I call."

Schwartz: {J-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}
Young: {A-Spades} {J-Hearts}

River: {3-Hearts}

And Jason Young is whooping and high-fiving everyone, kissing the dealer, shaking hands, and he's actually picked up the bracelet when the TD informs him that Schwartz has change. In fact, that he'll be all in on the blind next hand...
