Jake Schwartz: XxXx/3♦3♣3♠

Craig Chait has been attempting to talk with tablemate Irvin Garcia Ramirez in Spanish, but without much success. "The only Spanish word he knows is Tijuana," Esther Taylor joked.

Meanwhile, Jake Schwartz had completed and Laura Born called. "Who raised, Jacob? Okay, back to folding," Chait said as he let Schwartz and Born go heads-up.

Schwartz made a pair on fourth street and bet as Born called. Schwartz made trips on fifth and bet again, and Born quickly folded.

"I don't know if I wanted that three," Schwartz said, revealing A♥A♠ as his down cards while taking in the pot.
