Luke Schwartz Busts, James Romero Gets Richer
Mauricio Ferreira Pais opened the pot with a raise to 125,000 and James Romero called from the hijack. Luke Schwartz squeezed all in for his last 900,000 from the button and the blinds folded. Pais and Romero called.
The flop of [8s5hQs] was checked by Pais and Romero but there went some money in the side pot on the [2h] turn as Pais check-called a bet of 425,000. The [7c] on the river saw them check and Schwartz, who had already grabbed his jacket, announced he had ace-high.
Mauricio Ferreira Pais: [AsKh]
James Romero: [9c9s]
Luke Schwartz: [AcTc]
As Schwartz exited, Romero started stacking again, adding more to his already enormous stack.
