Schwartz Cruelly Denied Large Early Pot
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
With 6,000 already in the middle with the board reading 
, the big blind checked over to Jake Schwartz, who bet 4,000. The big blind called.
The river brought the 
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 
having flopped a straight but was cruelly denied the pot as the big blind had 
, 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.
