Stani Finds an Unexpected House

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Kevin Stani
Kevin Stani

Jeff Sarwer had flat-called a raise in middle position with Kevin Stani also making the call in the big blind. It was checked to Sarwer on the {7-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop and he bet 4,800 and EPT Tallinn winner (and Scandinavian Rookie of the Year) Stani was the only caller.

The {8-Clubs} turn saw a similar pattern of events with the Norwegian check-calling a bet of 8,500 to see a {10-Diamonds} river which both players checked. Sarwer turned over {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a flopped straight but Stani's {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} had gone from nowhere to beat him.

Sarwer slumped back into his seat, the former chip leader has taken a couple hits late on today and might just be happy for the tournament to end for the night.
