May the Schwartz Be With You

[user46392]

Jim Geary raised under the gun and it folded all the way around to Ylon Schwartz in the big blind who made the call. Schwartz check-called the bet from Geary on the {7-Spades} {8-Spades} {q-Diamonds} flop, but check-folded on the {9-Hearts} river. Geary moved up to 35,000 or so, while Schwartz was left with around 20,000.

Schwartz took another hit a few minutes later, when Eric Rivkin raised under the gun and Tom McCormick reraised out of the small blind. Schwartz called in the big blind, Rivkin called too, leaving himself just 300 behind, and they saw a flop.

Flop: {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}

McCormick bet out and Schwartz called. Rivkin called all in, and they proceeded to the turn.

Turn: {8-Spades}

McCormick bet out again and Schwartz called once more. Onwards.

River: {a-Spades}

This time McCormick and Schwartz checked it, and they went to showdown.

Rivkin: {a-Hearts} {j-Clubs} to triple up to 11,000
McCormick: {k-Hearts} {k-Diamonds} to take the side pot and put him at 28,500
Schwartz: mucked and was down to 12,000
