Paint It Black

Mike Schwartz wins two pots in a row through the possible deceptiveness of the preflop call.

Firstly, he limp-called a preflop raise of 40,000 from Sergey Rybachenko before pushing all in on the {5-Spades}{8-Spades}{K-Spades} flop to take the pot.

Then a couple of hands later, he limped under the gun, called a raise from small blinder Kyle Bowker before reraising his continuation bet all in on a {Q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. A frustrated Bowker folded to give Schwartz his second uncontested pot in quick succession.
