Sarwer Tries to Hook Barbosa

Jeff Sarwer has just been moved to another table for the second time today, and apparently his reputation (or more accurately, his perception) precedes him. Just as he had finished un-racking his chips, Sarwer open-raised to 13,000, and Joao Barbosa moved all in for 110,000. Sarwer called with little drama, turning over {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}. Barbosa could only show {K-Diamonds} {9-Spades}, at risk for his tournament life.

The first four cards off the deck were no good for Barbosa: {Q-Spades} {4-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}. The river, however, was an eye-widening {K-Spades}, saving Barbosa from his demise and doubling him up close to 230,000.
