Bubble Up!

From under the gun plus one, Dylan Shwartz opened to 11,500. It folded all the way around to Jonathan Schoder who moved all in from the big blind for 208,500.

"Wow," said Shwartz. "This is so f***ing sick." Shwartz had Schoder covered but calling and losing would leave him with only about 40,000. Shwartz eventually called and showed {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} but was behind Schoder's {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}.

Once the camera crews came over, the board was dealt out. It came {Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Spades} and Schoder was able to double up on the bubble to stay alive. He's currently at 420,000 while Shwartz has been crippled to 40,000. Good news for Shwartz, however, is that the bubble burst during the rest of hand for hand play so he was able to make the money despite his bad situation.
