Schwartz Spikes a One-Outer to Double

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Jason Mercier opened to 32,000 from early position, Noah Schwartz three-bet shoved for 265,000 on his direct left, and Jake Cody re-shoved from the small blind. Mercier looked at his cards one more time, then half pump faked before chuckling and mucking his cards.

Schwartz: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Cody: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Cody, who is one of the three remaining players who can win their second EPT Main Event, was in great shape to knockout Schwartz when the flop fell {2-Spades}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades}, but the {8-Spades} spiked on the turn.

The {a-Clubs} bricked off on the river, and Schwartz doubled.

After the hand, Mercier admitted that he folded an eight.
