Schwartz Puts on the Pressure

A player in middle position made it 2,100 to see the flop. Next to act was recent bracelet winner Ylon Schwartz who three-bet to 4,500. The rest of the table folded around to the initial raiser and he made the call.

The flop came {Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Spades} prompting a bet of 10,000 from the middle position player. Schwartz's response was to move all in, a bet that would put his shorter stacked opponent all in. A few minutes passed and no action was made, so someone at the table called clock. The floor was called over and the middle position player was given one minute to act. After about 20 seconds the middle position player folded and Schwartz was awarded the pot.
