Schwartz Sucks Out, But Not For Long
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Luke Schwartz had gotten short and got his last big blinds in from the cutoff. Yuan Li was in the small blind and went all in as well, for just over 100,000. Alexandros Kolonias folded his big blind and the pair's holdings were revealed.
Luke Schwartz: KxJx
Yuan Li: QxQx
Luke drilled a pair on the 9?K?8? flop to vault into the lead. The 2? turn was a big blank, but the Q? river changed the entire outcome of the hand.
Li shot up from his seat and cheered in excitement. His set would be the victor in this hand and he chipped up to a more comfortable 36 big blinds. Schwartz, meanwhile, would be the 46th place finisher in the €25,000 EPT High Roller.
