And after one of the most impressive and dramatic comebacks ever, it's all over for Michael Schwartz, and Jason Young can finally pick up that bracelet and take it home.
Checking Two Boards
The pace has slowed down considerably now and most of the onlooking spectators have now departed to seek their entertainment elsewhere.The last two hands echoed the current mood. After checking down an
board, Jason Young took the pot by betting the river. "Can you beat the board?" inquired Mike Schwartz. "Because I can't?"The very next hand, the board was checked down again, including the river, Young's
taking the pot with a 
on the felt.
Is It Over? No!
Schwartz raises to 500,000, and Young reraises all in. Schwartz stands up, and contemplates.Eventually, he folds
up. Young shows A-6.
