Schwartz Over Six Figures

Noah Schwartz
Noah Schwartz

Noah Schwartz has just became the second player we noticed, after Jeff Madsen, who eclipsed the 100,000 chip mark. And it was in, probably, his best game.

As of today Schwartz has over 2.5 million dollars in live tournament earnings, this year already being the best of his career with $682,763. A cash today in this event would be Schwartz' his first non Hold'em or Omaha cash ever, and it's looking very good for him so far!

No Limit Hold'em

An unknown player raised to 1,500 from the hijack, after which Daniel Idema made the call from the small blind. Schwartz was in the big blind, and he put out a three-bet to 7,200. The initial raiser moved all in for right around 23,000 and Idema folded his hand. Schwartz's intentions were very clear as he snap-called.

Noah Schwartz{9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Opponent{A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Schwartz raked in this big pot. Idema claimed he had folded {q-}{J-}, but seeing a river card would've probably been impossible with these two hands clashing.

Beware of Burt

Pot Limit Omaha:

With around 18,500 in the pot and a board reading {8-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, Scott Seiver and Tim Burt both checked. "Straight," Seiver said.

"How high?" Burt asked. Seiver then showed {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}(X)(X) for a ten-high straight. Burt then showed his {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} jack-high straight and the win. It wasn't much of a hand, but is a good excuse for us to let you know Burt is up to 60K.

Big One For Violette in Razz

Scott Seiver is still up over 30,000 chips since his previous chip count, but the pot he just played against Cyndy Violette didn't go his way. The action went down as following.

Razz

Scott Seiver{x-}{x-} / {A-Spades}{7-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{x-}
Cyndy Violette{x-}{x-} / {2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{x-}

We noticed a player with the {7-Diamonds} up who had 1,500 chips out in front of him, after which Seiver put in a raise to 3,000, and Violette re-popped it to 4,500. The {7-Diamonds} folded and Seiver made the call.

On fourth, fifth and sixth street Violette ended up betting, and Seiver called her down. Seventh street was dealt down, and slowly Violette checked her last card. She ended up checking as did Seiver.

Violette turned over {3-}{4-}{Q-} for a ten-five-four-three-deuce low. Seiver showed {2-}{3-}{J-} and he ended up with a queen-seven-four-three-ace low. Both players had really strong draws and missed, but Violette had the better of it.

Raymer Fossilized

Grey Raymer
Grey Raymer

No Limit Hold'em:

We saw 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Greg Raymer preparing to sign a fossil, which is his custom after being eliminated from a tournament. Gavin Griffin was to be the beneficiary, but told his victim to keep it and pass it along as he'd no doubt lose it, which he said he did to a copy of Barry Greenstein's book, Ace on the River, after having eliminated him in a past tournament.

"I'll set it aside," Raymer explained. "Then, if you win this tournament, I'll give it to you and you'll need to put it in a very expensive case, but you'll have to buy it."

After Raymer exited, Griffin informed us that the champ had shipped for 14,000 from cutoff with {8-Spades}{9-Spades} and he made the call with {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} from the small blind. The board ran out {Q-}{4-}{3-}{4-}{A-} and that was the end of that.

Idema Misses, Fitoussi Doubles Up

Freddy Deeb consoling Bruno Fitoussi after his second place finish in the 2007 $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship

Two World Series of Poker heavy weights just clashed in a big pot which gave one a double up, and the other something to complain about.

Daniel Idema is known for his amazing Limit Hold'em skills as he finished first and second in the $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship in back to back years. French pro Bruno Fitoussi claimed his fame when he finished second in the 2007 $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship to Freddy Deeb.

Limit Hold'em

High stakes online pro Ben Tollerene raised under the gun to 3,000 after which Fitoussi, who was under the gun +1, three bet to 4,500. Action got folded to Idema, who was in the cutoff, and he made it 4,500. Both Tollerene and Fitoussi called giving us three-way action on the flop.

The flop came down {2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Tollerene checked to Fitoussi who fired out 1,500. Idema raised, Tollerene folded and it was back on Fitoussi. He made it 4,500 after which he had only 1,100 left behind.

"Alright, let's party," Idema said after verifying Fitoussi's stack, and the remaining chips went into the pot.

Daniel Idema{A-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Bruno Fitoussi{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The turn brought the {3-Clubs} and the river the {q-Spades} giving Fitoussi more than a double up.

"One day I'll get there with ace-king," Idema sighed. He was knocked down to 46,000 while Fitoussi got his stack back up to 32,000. Interestingly enough Fitoussi's opponent in the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E., Freddy Deeb, is also still in contention in this event!
