Michael Schwartz Eliminated in 8th Place (�15,357)
Michael Mizrachi raised to 8,500 from the cutoff only to find short stack Michael Schwartz announce a three-bet to 29,000 from the small blind. In the big blind, Joe Hachem went into the tank for about a minute.
"What are you going to do?" asked Hachem to with Mizrachi with a smile.
"Depends on what you do," Mizrachi quipped back.
Another twenty seconds passed.
"I fold," announced Hachem. Mizrachi then dipped into his stack and pulled out enough chips to call.
The flop came down and Schwartz moved his last 11,500 into the center of the table.
"May the Schwartz be with you," said Mizrachi, an obvious Mel Brooks fan, as he tossed in calling chips.
