Schwartz Gets Much Needed Boost

Ylon Schwartz picked up a few much-needed chips in this hand against Eric Rivkin.

Schwartz was acting under the gun and threw in a raise, with Rivkin making a re-raise just two seats over. Schwartz called, and the two headed to the flop.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Schwartz checked. When Rivkin bet, Schwartz raised and Rivkin called. Rivkin called Schwartz's bets on the {3-Diamonds} turn and the {j-Spades} river. When it came time to show some cards, Schwartz tabled {k-}{k-}, which was better than Rivkin's hand of {q-}{q-}.

After the hand Schwartz was up to 15,000, while Rivkin slipped to 29,000
