Back To the Old Jeff Sarwer

[user66118]

Another Jeff Sarwer hand, since he seems to be one of the few men actually playing poker right now.

First into the pot, Sarwer made it 11,500 to play. Shaun Deeb made the call in position, and they went heads up the rest of the way. A flop of {2-Diamonds}

saw Sarwer continue out with a bet of 17,000, and Deeb quickly called.

The turn was the {10-Spades}

to pair the board, and Deeb faced a bet of 31,000 from Sarwer. After an extra moment's pause, he flicked in the calling chips. The {3-Spades}

filled out the board, and Sarwer made a repeat bet of 31,000.

"That's not the bet I expected," said Deeb, removing his sunglasses to take a better look at the situation. Another minute or two went by, and Deeb made the call.

Sarwer turned over his {K-Clubs}

, and Deeb nodded knowingly as he flung his cards into the muck. "I thought I might have actually had you out-kicked," he said. "But I had the one worse hand, queen-jack."

That slip-up drops Deeb down around 200,000, while Sarwer vaults up dangerously close to the million-chip mark. He's still constructing his pyramid, but it looks like he's got about 990,000 at the moment.
