Noah Schwartz Eliminated in 18th Place ($10,067)

Keith Ferrera raises to 18,000 in late position and it folds to Noah Schwartz in the small blind.

"How much?" Schwartz asks.  Ferrera tells him and Schwartz responds with a, "Yum yum."  He counts his small pile of chips before calling, telling his neighbor he, "is planning a stop and go."

Alex Ivanov calls in the big blind and, before the flop comes out, Schwartz calls across to Ferrera, "It is 43,000," referring to the number of chips he has behind.  "I learned this on TV once," Schwartz adds.

The flop comes [9d6d3h] and Schwartz moves all-in.  Ivanov quickly announces a raise to 120,000 total.  Ferrera folds.

Schwartz shows [QdJd] for overcards and a flush draw.  Ivanov holds [7d8c] for an open-ended straight draw.

The turn is the [9c] and Schwartz’s queen-high is still good.  The river [10s] completes Ivanov’s straight though and he takes the pot, eliminating Schwartz in the process.

Alex Ivanov – 860,000 (108 BBs)
Noah Schwartz – eliminated in 18th place ($10,067)
