Hand #25 - Noah Schwartz Eliminated in 8th Place ($246,834)

Shamus

Justin Bonomo has the button. Noah Schwartz moved all in from early position for 1,055,000. It folded to Greg Raymer who reraised all in, and the others folded.

Schwartz {A-Diamonds}

Raymer

Pocket aces weren't working too well for Raymer yesterday -- he lost twice with them, then on a third hand Ted Forrest had aces as well, and he chopped the pot. But he appeared to be in good shape against Schwartz's hand here.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}

, and Raymer was still well ahead. The turn was the {5-Clubs}

, meaning the {2-Diamonds}

no longer mattered. Schwartz goes out in 8th place, earning $246,834. After that hand, Raymer moves up to 2.83 million.
