Schwartz Holds in a Massive Spot

Chris Land

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Noah Schwartz raised to 12,000 from late position and the player in the cutoff called before the player in the small blind went all in for 62,000.

Schwartz called and with action on the cutoff, the player took a moment to pause and consider his decision. After about 30 seconds, the player in the cutoff announced all in to try and put Schwartz at risk in the hand as well. Schwartz quickly called and with both Schwartz and the small blind player at risk, the trio was headed to a runout.

Small Blind: J?J?
Noah Schwartz: Q?Q?
Small Blind: 10?10?

The board ran out 5?K?3?A?6?, keeping Schwartz ahead all the way through the river and securing him a massive pot, busting the small blind and leaving the cutoff player with less than two blinds.
