Showdown
Schultz:
Segni:
Segni was on the flush draw, and he needed to find a heart that didn't pair the board in order to stick around. He only had one card to come, though, and the river was too little, too late.
Unable to catch up, the start-of-day chip leader has been sent to the exit in third place. He'll earn himself a consolation prize of more than $50,000, a fine reward for a strong showing here this week.
From the button, Ron Segni raised to 90,000, and Daniel Lowery flatted from the small blind. In the big, though, Bryan Schultz wanted to play for more, and he squeezed in a reraise to 275,000 total. That folded Segni withouth incident, but Lowery came along with another call to proceed heads-up.
The two men checked through the flop and the turn, and the filled out the board on the river. Lowery took his cue to bet 350,000, and Schultz called rather quickly, turning up . Lowery couldn't beat it, and he mucked to send a good chunk of chips over to his opponent.

There have been a few battles between Hank Czarnecki and Bryan Schultz that have fizzled out before any serious fireworks erupted, and we just watched the two of them play another pot.
It started with Czarnecki raising his button, and Schultz defended from the big blind to see a flop. The latter check-called another 75,000 on the flop, and he checked again behind the turn. When Czarnecki bet 110,000, though, Schultz check-raised to 300,000 straight. That folded Czarnecki without much trouble, and that hit knocks Czarnecki back down under the million-chip mark.
