Schwartz Sent Packing

[user80015]

Catching the action on a flop of {Q-Hearts}

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}

Opponent:

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

to see Schwartz hit the rail.

[user80015]

Nick Frangos has just been eliminated when he put all his chips in the middle holding {10-Hearts}

.

The window card would drop the {10-Clubs}

Wasicka Walks

[user80015]

We ventured over to Paul Wasicka's table to find his seat empty.

Talking to one of the players on the table, Jonas 'TULKAZ' Klauson, Klauson had called a raise from Wasicka preflop to see a flop of {K-Hearts}

fall.

Wasicka fired at the pot with Klauson making the call. The turn landed the {Q-Hearts}

and Wasicka moved all in with Klauson making the call.

Wasicka: {J-Hearts}

Klauson:

Drawing to a chop on the river with a nine, or a double with any heart to make a flush, the river would blank out and Wasicka would head to the river.
