Strzemp Closes in on Schwartz

[user4144]

John Strzemp is seemingly unstoppable at the moment. Whilst we were reporting his double through, he added another couple of hundred thousand to his stack with a turned straight against Jason Young.

Then, a few hands later, Mike Schwartz limped on the button, Young made up the blind and Strzemp checked providing us with a rare three-way pot.

Both checked the {3-Hearts}

flop only for Schwartz to bet 120,000 on the {Q-Hearts}

turn once his two foes had checked. Young folded, but Strzemp called.

Strzemp checked the {A-Hearts}

on the river, Schwartz bet 150,000 and Strzemp called.

"Good call!" exclaim certain segments of the crowd as Strzemp revealed a triumphant {2-Spades}
