Stud:
We caught up with the action on sixth street as Ylon Schwartz and an unknown opponent played a heads-up pot.
Schwartz: (X)(X) - 
- (X)
Opponent: (X)(X) - 
- (X)
On sixth street, with a sizable pot already being contested, Schwartz' opponent fired a bet of 3,000 and the mixed-game specialist made the call. The dealer flipped each player their final down card on seventh street and Schwartz checked it, prompting another bet of 3,000 by his opponent. Schwartz, who finished 18th in the $3,000 H.O.R.S.E event at the 2009 WSOP, appeared discouraged by the bet but decided to look his man up.
His opponent immediately showed his down cards, 
for trip eights and Schwartz mucked his hand.
