Limit Hold'em:
Stephen Chidwick raised the button, and Ylon Schwartz defended his big blind to go heads-up.
The flop came 
, and Schwartz check-raised. Chidwick bet-called, then called another of Schwartz's bets on the 
turn. The river paired the board with the 
, and Schwartz had already bet in the dark, leaving just 15,000 behind once again. Chidwick tanked and called.
Schwartz showed down 
, and his full house was plenty good. It's a big pot for Schwartz, and it bumps him back ahead of his opponent in that pot.
Chidwick went on to lose the next hand as well. After three-betting preflop and losing one small bet thereafter in that hand, he's slipped back to the short stack with 470,000.
