Sarwer Says Goodbye

So Long, Sarwer
So Long, Sarwer
Everyone seemed to be looking the other way when Jeff Sarwer was eliminated just moments ago, so a small group of us huddled around him to hear the tale of his demise.

We caught up a bit late to the conversation, but we gathered that Sarwer and two opponents each saw a flop for 2,000 chips apiece, indicating a minimum raise somewhere along the line. The dealer ran out the first three cards {2-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {10-Hearts}, and the big blind checked. The next player slid out a bet of 7,000, drawing an all-in shove from Sarwer. It was about 47,000 total, and he grimaced as the big blind moved all in over the top of him. That was enough to fold the monkey in the middle and put Sarwer heads up for his tournament life.

Showdown
Sarwer: {K-Clubs} {J-Clubs}
Opponent: {4-?} {4-?}

Sarwer's Broadway cards were pretty much dead, and he'd be looking for a fifth club to stay afloat. The turn was an offsuit {3-?} though, and an offsuit {10-?} on the river marked the end of Sarwer's day and tournament, much much earlier than we're used to seeing him exit.

The former chess prodigy was clearly frustrated and gloomy as he made his way towards the door. You can't win 'em all, but you can't blame "Mr. EPT" for having high expectations of himself.
