Luke Schwartz: XxXx / K♥J♦A♣ folded on fifth street
Marco Johnson: J♣9♠ / J♥3♥9♣6♣ / 5♠
Five ways on fourth street, Paul Volpe and Gus Hansen folded when Marco Johnson bet. Roy Thung and Luke Schwartz called with the latter then checking fifth street. Johnson bet again and Thung went into a brief tank before he raised, which forced out Schwartz.
Johnson checked his stack behind carefully and then moved all-in for another 40,000 on top, which Thung called.
"Do you have a straight?" Johnson asked before the cards were flipped over but then discovered that he was actually ahead with jacks and nines against the eights and sevens of Thung. On sixth street, Thung improved to eights full and Johnson failed to improve himself.
While Johnson was sweating his last card, Thung had already flipped over his last card which happened to be the case eight for quads to leave Johnson drawing dead.
