Stani Finds an Unexpected House
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
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 flop and he bet 4,800 and EPT Tallinn winner (and Scandinavian Rookie of the Year) Stani was the only caller.
The turn saw a similar pattern of events with the Norwegian check-calling a bet of 8,500 to see a river which both players checked. Sarwer turned over for a flopped straight but Stani's 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.
