Bronze Section: Schwartz Really Does Pay-Off Trinh

There are only 7-tables remaining in the Bronze Section as our field shrinks like a pair of 1970s skinny jeans. In just 3-mins time the end of Level 4 will be reached and the final numbers and prize pool should be with us, so keep your eyes open for that. In the meantime let's give you a hand involving Dominykas Karmazinas and Sorel Mizzi, and a story where Toan Trinh finds himself $50 the richer.

Sorel Mizzi raised to 400 on the button, the small blind called before Dominykas Karmazinas three-bet to 1,600 from the big blind. Mizzi made the call, the small blind folded and pair were heads-up to the flop. The dealer gave them the {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} and Mizzi called a 2,300 Karmazinas bet. The turn card was the {J-Hearts} and Karmanizas bet 6,000; this time Mizzi folded.

Karmazinas started laughing and showed Mizzi {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}.

"You were good," said Mizzi.

One table over and Luke Schwartz was having a tete-a-tete with Toan Trinh. Now Trinh may not be a household name to you, but he is having a fabulous World Series of Poker (WSOP) with 14th and 7th place finishes respectively. The pair were staring at a board of {9-Spades} {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} and Trinh had check-raised Schwartz to 6,000.

"I will give you $50 if you show me worse than {10-} {9-}," said Schwartz before folding.

Trinh turned over {9-Clubs} {4-Spades} {J-Spades} {8-Clubs} to show an inferior hand and Schwartz handed him $50.
