"How many aces are in this deck?" Glantz asked when he saw Schwartz put more chips into the pot on the J river.

Glantz looked his opponent up, but he could not beat his AJ for a full house and mucked.

Luke Schwartz: XxXx / Q933 / Xx
Lou Garza: XxXx / 8Q82 / Xx
Daniel Negreanu: XxXx / 6456 / Xx
Mike Wattel: XxXx / 72A - folded on fifth street

On fourth, it checked to Negreanu who bet, and all three opponents called.

Negreanu bet again on fifth, Wattel tank-folded, Schwartz raised, Garza cold-called with open eights, and Negreanu.

It checked to Schwartz on sixth who bet, with both opponents calling.

Garza then led out of seventh, Negreanu raised, Schwartz cold-called, Garza made it three bets, Negreanu called, and Schwartz sigh-called.

Garza tabled AQ8 for a full house, while Negreanu had 432 for the low. Schwartz flashed the nut flush as he mucked.

"I didn't think he [Schwartz] would call twelve, but he would call six," Negreanu explained as to why he didn't put in the fourth bet on seventh.

Schwartz lamented his luck, knowing that his flush was good for the scoop on sixth, but both opponents made their hand on seventh.
