Following the extraordinary optical brightness level of the blazar PKS 1510-089 on May 08.9 (Larionov et al., ATel #2045), we report on the analysis of Swift data obtained immediately after the optical flare. The Swift/BAT hard X-ray transient monitor detected an outburst in PKS 1510-089 in the 15-50 keV energy band. On 2009 May 10 (MJD 54961) the count rate was 0.009 +/- 0.005 cts/s/cm^2 (40 mCrab).
