Nearly All of Schwartz's Stack Chopped Up

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

We came upon Ylon Schwartz betting into a pair of opponents with four to a flush and two to a wheel on his board, but he faced significant action as Joe Tehan raised him with three diamonds and three to a low, and Jyri Merivirta called.

Schwartz: {x-}{x-}/{a-Spades}{2-Spades}{k-Spades}{9-Spades}
Tehan: {x-}{x-}/{6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Merivirta: {x-}{x-}/{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

Schwartz opted to make it three bets, and both of his opponents called. He bet the river as well and got two more calls, though Tehan took some time before putting in the required chips.

"Please be a low card," Schwartz said, peeling his card.

It was, and he flipped over {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} for an ace-high flush and an eight-five low. However, Tehan had {3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for a six-low, and Merivirta showed {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. His flush went ace-king-nine-seven while Schwartz's went ace-king-nine-four, so Schwartz was left with crumbs as his opponents chopped up the huge pot.
