After a flop of Kh8s6s, Brandon Schwartz checked from under the gun, the UTG+1 player checked, and the middle-position player moved all in for 68,000.

Schwartz quickly called all in for 25,500, and the UTG+1 player folded.

Schwartz showed KdQc for a pair of kings, and his opponent turned over 10s10c. Schwartz needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card was the 2d, the river card was the 3c, and Schwartz won the pot with his pair of kings to double up in chips.

Brandon Schwartz  –  108,000  (36 bb)
