"Do You Play Online?"
Action folded to a short-stacked Sergio Aido Espina on the button and he moved all in for 301,000. The small blind got out of the way, and an even shorter-stacked Jeff Sarwer asked from the big blind, "Do you play online?" He received an affirmative answer and then added, "Ok, I call."
The table got a good laugh as Sarwer put in his stack of 140,000 and the cards were turned on their backs:
Showdown
Espina:
Sarwer:
It was a flip with Espina holding a slight lead. The flop was no help to Sarwer, and neither was the river. Just when it looked like the former chess prodigy was going to exit in 18th place, the slammed down on the river to give him the win.
Sarwer let a big smile cross his face as Espina's already short stack was cut in hald.
