With 6,000 already in the middle with the board reading {7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, the big blind checked over to Jake Schwartz, who bet 4,000. The big blind called.

The river brought the {9-Spades} and the big blind lead for 10,000. Schwartz, who has reached 10 WSOP final tables, raised to 35,000 and the big blind called.

Schwartz showed {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} having flopped a straight but was cruelly denied the pot as the big blind had {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}, having made top pair on the turn and making a straight on the river.

Schwartz was quick to snatch the 35,000 chips in front of him, visibly frustrated as he was forced to split the pot.
