Schwarmann Shoves in the Dark
No-Limit Hold'em
Action was picked up with around 60,000 already in the pot and a board reading on the felt. Nick Schwarmann had just bet 125,000 from the small blind. His opponent, Lawrence Brandt, made the call from across the table.
"You call? You're crazy," Schwarmann said, "I shove in the dark," moving all in without seeing the turn. Brandt made the call in the dark as well, and the two were racing, with Brandt at risk.
Lawrence Brandt:
Nick Schwarmann:
Brandt had the best of it with the jack high straight, and was roughly a 2:1 favorite to double up against Schwarmann's set. That was until the turn and river completely counterfeited his hand, putting a jack high straight on the board, and resulting in a chopped pot.
"I'm telling you guys, you can't beat me!" Schwarmann told the table.
