NBA Finals Game 3 odds and the latest odds to win the Euro 2012 are also covered below.
As a result of his win, Schwartz takes home $267,081.
From Nolan Dalla of the World Series of Poker:
Indeed, the entire 40-plus hour duration of the tournament was a supreme test of mental and physical fortitude for Schwartz, who cut his competitive teeth in the musty chess backrooms of Brooklyn and anachronistic park-scene of Manhattan, an atypical background which unquestionably provided a strategic pedigree and competitive edge over many of the world’s best all-around poker players now assembled in Las Vegas.
Schwartz’s victory in this event, once again, validated H.O.R.S.E.’s long-held reputation as poker’s superlative trial and tribulation on the question of comprehensive skill. The game requires one to master, not just one form of poker, but five games in all – including Hold’em, Omaha High-Low Split, Razz, Seven-Card Stud, and Seven-Card Stud High-Low Split.
