Biggest Pot of the Day: Larry Limpan Out in 27th to Massive Chipleader 2.1 Million

Noah Schwartz raises from late position to 27,000, Larry Lipman raises from the big blind to 102,000, and Schwartz calls.

The flop comes [5c4c3s], Lipman bets 130,000, Schwartz raises to 284,000, and Lipman reraises to 484,000. Schwartz waves his hand and says, "I’m all in." Lipman asks for a count.

Schwartz is all in for a total of 960,000, and it’s 476,000 more for Lipman to call, and it might be enough to cover his stack.

Lipman thinks for a little while before he calls, and Schwartz shows [3d3h] for a set of threes. Lipman turns over [AhKd] for a gutshot straight draw, saying, "I wouldn’t have called if I didn’t have outs."

The turn card pairs the board with the [4h], clinching the hand with a full house (threes full of fours). The meaningless river card is the [9c], and Larry Lipman is eliminated in 27th place.

Noah Schwartz  –  2,127,000  (177 BBs)
Larry Lipman  –  Out in 27th Place ($34,260)

As Schwartz pulls in the piles and piles of chips, Sorel Mizzi says from across the table, "Happy Hanukkah, Noah," and everyone laughs. Schwartz says, "I was expecting a deuce on the turn."

There is a bit more conversation about Noah’s massive chip stack, and as the next hand is being dealt, Mizzi adds, "That was a nice call preflop, Noah."
