Event 16: Ira Schwartz Triples Up

$360 No Limit Hold’em Big Stack
Level 10: 400/800 with a 100 ante
Players Remaining: 38 of 87

The player under the gun raises to 2,400 and the player in early position calls, Dylan Drazen calls from the hijack, and the player on the button calls as well.

Daren Stabinski is in the small blind and three-bets to 9,000. The original raiser folds, the player in early position calls, Drazen folds, and Schwartz moves all in for 11,000.

Stabinski and the player in early position both call. Any further action would create a side pot between Stabinski and his opponent in early position.

The flop is Qc9s8c and Stabinski checks. His opponent bets 15,000 and Stabinski shakes his head in disgust before folding AxKx face-up.

Schwartz shows 9h7d, good for middle pair and needs to improve against his opponent’s QhJh. The turn is the 3c and the river is the 7c to give Schwartz two pair, the best hand, and the pot to more than triple up.

Ira Schwartz – 39,500
