Schwartz Absolutely Crushing; Phan & Brammer Latest Victims
Since the last break, Noah Schwartz has established himself as the overwhelming chip leader; in fact, he now has over a million after eliminating both Tue Phan and Christopher Brammer.
In regards to Phan, we caught the action on a 
flop with about 25,000 in the pot. Phan checked from the under-the-gun position, Schwartz bet 20,000 and Phan woke up with a check-raise to 94,000. Schwartz made the call and then moved all in when Phan bet the pot on the 
turn. Phan called off his few remaining chips and the biggest pot of the tournament up to that point was on the line.
Phan: 
Schwartz: 
Schwartz had flopped the nuts and Phan, who had an open-ended draw to an inferior straight, was drawing dead. The meaningless 
was run out on the river for good measure and Schwartz was pushed the gigantic pot to put him around 900,000.
A few minutes later, Schwartz sent Brammer to the rail to become the first player over a million!
