Hand #96 - Ylon Schwartz

Dennis Phillips has the button in Seat 1. Everyone passes the action to Ylon Schwartz, who limps in. Montgomery checks his option in the big blind. When the flop comes {A-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Clubs}, Schwartz leads out for 750,000. Montgomery comes over the top of him with a raise to 2.25 million, which Schwartz calls.

The turn card is the {K-Clubs}. Both players check to the river, which is the {2-Clubs}. Both players quickly check again. Schwartz shows {A-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} for a pair of aces. Montgomery mucks.
