Level 8

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

On the tail end of a bigger confrontation between Jake Schwartz and Andrew Brown, there were nearly 70,000 in the middle. Schwartz jammed for 42,400 and Brown went deep into the tank. He talked to himself and his opponent, essentially declaring he was trying to talk himself out of a call.

Indeed, the fold followed and more table chat by Brown followed. "I folded the worst eight-six in the deck. I don't believe him, the body language says he didn't have it," Brown added.
