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.
Noah Schwartz – 138,000 (86 bb)
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!"
