Hand #30 - Ylon Schwartz | 2008 WSOP Main Event - The Final Table

Dennis Phillips has the button in Seat 1. Ivan Demidov is the first into the pot, raising to 775,000. Everyone passes to Ylon Schwartz in the big blind. Demidov is the only player that has Schwartz covered at this point. After thinking it over, Schwartz calls.

Schwartz acts first on the {2-Diamonds}

flop and bets 1,150,000. Demidov makes the call. The turn {3-Diamonds}

seems to be a card that helps neither player. Schwartz fires away again, making it 2,450,000. Demidov sinks into his chair and lets out a small sigh, but decides to call again.

The river makes things interesting. It is the {6-Hearts}

and puts a possible heart flush on board. It slows Schwartz down, as he checks for the first time. Wordlessly, Demidov pushes 3.7 million into the middle. Schwartz quickly calls and shows {K-Clubs}

for a flopped two pair. That beats Demidov's single pair of kings, {A-Diamonds}

.

By dragging that pot, Ylon Schwartz has become the new chip leader.
