Ewald Sends One Packing

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Gary Ewald
Gary Ewald

There was 27,000 in the middle in a heads-up pot between Gary Ewald in early position and his opponent in middle position. The flop read {7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Ewald had checked and was facing an all-in bet of 30,000. He thought agonizingly for about a minute and then called.

All-In Player: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Gary Ewald: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The all-in player improved to a pair of jacks on the turn {j-Diamonds} but that was as close as he would get to doubling as the river {q-Hearts} completed the runout and left his hand second best.

"Yes!" exclaimed Ewald as the pot was sent his way.

"Not a snap call?" asked another player at the table.

"I put him on aces preflop," responded Ewald and then proceeded to stack his chips, bringing his total up to 160,000 early in Level 10.
