Sarwer Shortened
As play began, we joked with Jeff Sarwer to let us know if he gets dealt aces because he has a terrible track with them and we wanted to catch him busting out with them once again. Although he hasn't found the bullets yet, he had run into some trouble with an unknown player who we will refer to as Monsieur Unconventional.
We joined the action to see Sarwer open to 375 and our unconventional anti-hero three-bet to 2,000. No, that is not a typo, the three-bet was six-times the original raise. Sarwer called and a flop reading 
came into view. Sarwer checked, Mr Unconventional bet 3,000 and Sarwer called.
The turn was the 
and Sarwer checked again and had to face a 10,000 bet. Sarwer responded by moving all in and was quickly called.
Sarwer: 
Mr Unconventional: 
The river was the 
and Sarwer had to hand over 22,600 of his chips.
After quizzing both Sarwer and Jeremy Nock about the size of the initial three-bet, Nock explained that our anti-hero had been raising five or six times since the start of play, sometimes with weak hands and, obviously, sometimes with stronger hands.
Anyone want to take bets on Mr Unconventional not making it through Day 1b?
