Schwartz Sent Packing

Catching the action on a flop of {Q-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} with an already healthy pot developing, it would be Ylon Schwartz faced with a bet of 2,000.

Schwartz sat there contemplating a decision before eventually pushing his whole stack in. His opponent called the additional 2,900, and the cards were tabled.

Schwartz: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}

Schwartz would be unable to catch one of the two remaining tens in the deck when the turn and river would fall the {8-Diamonds} and {4-Spades} to see Schwartz hit the rail.

Facing a raise to 1,800 preflop, Rayan Nathan pushed all in from the big blind for 7,550 total.

His opponent ummed and ahhed over it for nearly three minutes before making the call.

Nathan: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Opponent: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}

The window was the dagger {A-Diamonds} and when the final board read {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts} Nathan doubled through to over 15,000 in chips.

Demidov: {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Seat 7: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}

The board fell {k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} to see Demidov eliminate another opponent while climbing to over 19,000 in chips.
