. "Oh shit!" said Sarwer, still smiling. He tabled 
, needing to come from behind if he was going to tally the knockout.The board ran out safe for Neuville though, coming 5-9-Q-A-5. Neuville's kicker plays, and he notches the double up back into contention. He's now up to about 1.65 million, still the short stack but out of the danger zone for now.
They saw a
flop which Neuville checked. Sarwer bet 135,000, and Neuville now check-raised to 335,000. Call.Both players checked the
turn, and when the 
river was on the table, Neuville bet out 405,000. After a few moments' consideration Sarwer called - and his 
was good enough to take the pot, Neuville only able to boast 
. Neuville tapped the table like a man who's just had his soul read, and is down to around a million.

. Both men checked, and the 
put four to the straight on board. Matias led out with a bet of 50,000, and Neuville announced a raise to 225,000. Not wasting any time, Matias came back over the top with a three-bet to 500,000 straight.

- Matias reraised to 780,000
- Sarwer four-bet to 1.38 million
- Matias five-bet all in
Sarwer was left with a serious decision. He shook his head, smiling. Matias grinned back and shrugged. "Eh, what can I do?' he said cheerfully. He put his shades on, somehow removed one of the lenses, and winked at Sarwer through the empty frame. For this he received a round of applause.
Eventually Sarwer passed, with his customary, "Nice hand." He is down to 3 million. Matias flashed him a
for his trouble.
Heads up to the flop, the two men watched it come
