With action on the river and the board reading 2♦8♥9♦6♣8♣, the pot had about 420,000 in it. Lucas Blanco was in the hijack and bet 330,000.

Max Kruse considered it for some time before he made the call.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Pedro Madeira opened the button to 80,000 and Brandon Schwartz shoved for 615,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded, and Madeira made the call.

Brandon Schwartz: 4♥4♣ All in
Pedro Madeira: A♠8♦

Schwartz improved to a set on the 10♥7♥4♠ flop but was made to sweat as the 6♠ turn improved Madeira to a straight draw.

The Q♥ river changed nothing which meant Schwartz doubled up.
