Sarwer in Check, Avoids Mate

Jeff Sarwer
Jeff Sarwer
We walked up to Jeff Sarwer's table just as he was leading out with a bet of 4,500 (into a pot of about 7,000) on a turned board showing {7-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {7-Spades}. His opponent stuck out a big raise, enough to put Sarwer to a decision for his remaining ~13,000 chips. After just a quick deliberation, Sarwer stuck them in there with {8-Spades} {9-Spades}, and the news was not good. His opponent tabled {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}, and Sarwer was dead to two outs.

Fortunately for him, the {9-Clubs} was one of those two outs, and that's just what the dealer served him on the river. With his full house, Sarwer notches that unlikely double up to about 45,000.
