May the Schwartz Be with You

[user75032]

Daniel Kochan is hurting after a recent entanglement with Noah Schwartz. Schwartz was the first aggressor. He raised to 4,700 from middle position before Kochan three-bet from the button to 11,800. Schwartz made the call to a flop of all small cards, {3-Diamonds}

.

Schwartz led out with a bet that Kochan raised to 15,500. Schwartz, undeterred, reraised to 35,000. Kochan made the call to an {A-Diamonds}

on the turn that both players checked. When the river came down {7-Spades}

, Schwartz checked the action over to Kochan, who made it 44,000 to go. That was not enough to fold Schwartz. He called and tabled {Q-Clubs}

before Kochan opened his hand. As a result, we never found out what Kochan had. He mucked, preserving only 30,000 chips in his stack. Schwartz is up to 270,000.
