McEwan Takes One from Naim

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Gal Naim and Matthew McEwan both had decent stacks to start the hand.

There were over 600,000 chips in the middle on the river with the board showing 7?7?9?6?5?. McEwan was in middle position and bet 425,000.

Naim thought about it for a while and then decided to fold, saying he will give his opponent the credit. He also made the request for McEwan to tell him what he had once the tournament was over, to which McEwan agreed.
