flop and to a 
turn, at which point it checked around to Strzemp, who bet 150,000. Schwartz folded, but Young called. He also called Strzemp's 325,000 bet on the 
river, and then disappointedly mucked when Strzemp turned over 
for the straight. Strzemp now back up to over three million.
Young kicked off the action with a 170,000 raise from the button. Strzemp made it 500,000 and Schwartz folded, commenting "easy fold" in the process.
It wasn't an "easy fold" for Young though, in fact it wasn't a fold at all, the call for the extra 330,000 a seemingly torturous one as he dipped into the think tank, counted out his chips and slid them across the felt.
On the

Strzemp: 4.2 million
Schwartz: 3.1 million
Young: 2.7 million

Young was not a happy chappy.
Strzemp: 3.1 million
Young: 2.9 million
They see a
flop, and Young checks, yawning. Schwartz bets 300,000. Young pushes all his chips into the middle, still yawning - a total of 1.76 million. Schwartz mulls it over, but folds.
Meanwhile, he also won a small pot by being the caller, Jason Young raising it to 265,000 from the small blind and Strzemp matching the bet in the big.
The
board was checked all the way down where Strzemp took the pot with
