"For the investors," Noah Schwartz said as he snapped a photo of his hand. He eventually folded, while Tetsuro Tomita in the big blind also captured his hand as he folded. Ensan also quickly mucked. Tetsuro then showed the table he had folded two nines.
The next hand, Tomita shoved from the small blind and Ensan called for 400,000.
Hossein Ensan: K♠5♠
Tetsuro Tomita: J♣6♦
"Are you guys rich?" Schwartz said when the cards were revealed. The J♠10♠10♥ flop gave Tomita two pair, while Ensan picked up a flush draw. The rest of the 7♥A♥ board missed Ensan and the Main Event champion was sent to the rail.
"That's disrespectful. Did you look at the jack twice? I thought you played tight," Schwartz joked with Tomita after the hand.

"I got kids. He doesn't care. He's rich. They have all the oil," Schwartz added.
