Level 18
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Sam Stein opened from the cutoff with a raise to 11,000. Jeff Sarwer calls from the small blind and they see a flop heads up.
When the board rolls off 
both players check and the 
hits the turn. Sarwer checked again and Stein bet 8,500. Sarwer then made a check-raise to 21,500. Stein decided to make the call and the two players saw the 
hit the river. Sarwer led the river for 33,000 and Stein snap-called.
Sarwer quickly turned over 
for the nut straight and Stein angrily mucked. Stein lost over half his chips in that pot and is now down to 55,000 while Sarwer, who had been giving some of his chips back to his table as of late, reshifted the momentum with this hand and stacks up 440,000 chips.
