Schwartz Cracks the Aces of Nguyen
Niveau 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Brandon Schwartz opened to 115,000 from middle position. It folded to the small blind Turbo Nguyen, who put in a three-bet to 325,000. Schwartz then opted to four-bet to 1,100,000, which Nguyen quickly five-bet to put Schwartz all in for 2,915,000. After sitting in the tank, Schwartz decided to make the call, and was at risk in a massive pot.
Brandon Schwartz: Q♠Q♣ 
Turbo Nguyen: A♦A♣
It was a massive cooler for Schwartz, but when the flop came out Q♥6♦10♦ it was now Schwartz who jumped in front of the aces with a set of queens. The 6♥ turn meant only an ace on the river could eliminate Schwartz, after improving to a full house. The 2♦ on secured Schwartz the double up, and left Nguyen short stacked after the bad beat.
