Event 9 Flight E: Jake Schwartz Doing Just Fine Now, Thanks

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 14: 1,000/2,000 with a 300 Ante
Flight E Players Remaining: 153 of 676

Jake Schwartz was eliminated during Level 8, but these last six levels have gone exceedingly well for the pro from New York. He returned with a fresh starting stack shortly after his elimination, and he was already sitting with around 170,000 chips when this hand began.

Action folded around to the small blind, who moved all in for about 25,000 in front of Schwartz. “You want to sweat it together?” Schwartz asked from the big blind, leaning over to let the his opponent squeeze along with him. “Oh, that’s very bad,” Schwartz said as he peeled the first card. When he peeled the second, though, he said, “I have to call,” and he did just that.

Schwartz: 2c2h
Small blind: 6d7h

The Kh7d4d flop gave the small blind the lead with a pair of sevens, but Schwartz turned the 2d to retake the lead with a set of deuces. The small blind needed to find a diamond to stay alive, but the river Jc sent him to the rail just before the end of Day 1E.

Jake Schwartz – 197,000 (82 bb)
