Tim Joseph Eliminated by Noah Schwartz

Tim Joseph raises from the button, WPT Jacksonville champion Noah Schwartz reraises from the big blind to 9,500, and Joseph reraises to 20,200. Schwartz tanks for a while before putting out a stack of orange (5,000) chips, effectively putting Joseph all in.

Joseph calls all in for about 60k with [9c9d], and Schwartz turns over [10c9s]. Joseph needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board comes [Qs8c6c10h6h], and Schwartz pairs his ten on the turn to win the pot and eliminate Joseph from the tournament.

Tim Joseph  –  Eliminated

After Joseph leaves, Schwartz comments about his relatively weak hand, telling the table, "I always think they’re messing around with me. And then they actually have a hand."

David Williams said, "The passive, middle-aged guy? I was surprised he only had nines!"
