Schwartz Chipping Up Early Through Nguyen

Khiem Nguyen took fifth place in Event 26 ($3,000 PLO) for $83,180, but is off to a rough start today.

Picking up the action at the tail end of the hand, Noah Schwartz was pondering a decision for about 4,500 from Nguyen after the river of a {J-Hearts}{4-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} board. Schwartz mulled it over, ultimately opting to call.

"Just a seven," said Nguyen.

Schwartz tabled {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for aces and jacks to take down the pot. As a result, Nguyen used the first of his two remaining rebuy chips.
