Schwartz wins Huge Pot
Table #453 was being taken over by Carlos Mortensen a short while ago, but now it's all about Justin Schwartz.
Todd Boghosian had won a couple of big pots off Mortensen to take over the chip lead three-handed before he gave all but 40,000 of them to Schwartz.
The two were heads-up to a flop and Schwartz continued for 4,600 from the button. Boghosian check-raised up to 12,600 and was soon facing a three-bet to 28,600. He was answer was to shove and was snap-called by Schwartz.
Boghosian opened for the flush draw and that caused Schwartz to jump out of his chair, knocking it over for about the fifth time today. He said, "Oh my god" as he obviously hoped his set with was in better shape.
The board ran out and Schwartz breathed a huge sigh of relief. He has around 250,000 chips of the 450,000 in play.
