Sarwer Slips in the Biggest Pot Thus Far

[user66118]

Oleksandr Vaserfirer opened the pot with a raise from the button, and big blind Jeff Sarwer three-bet him strong. Vaserfirer came back with another raise, and Sarwer shoved all in over the top on a five-bet. Vaserfirer had committed a significant chunk of his stack to the hand already, and he made the call to put himself at risk and put the largest pot of the tournament up for grabs.

Showdown
Vaserfirer: {A-Spades}

Sarwer:

Let's flip for rolls, shall we?

The flop was no fun for the chip leader, coming {2-Clubs}

. The turn {10-Spades}

failed to help at all, and the river {7-Clubs}

locked up the monster double up for Vaserfirer. His total all in was 623,000, moving him well over 1.2 million and into a big chip lead.

Sarwer, on the other hand, has taken his first hit in a long while. He's dropped all the way back to about 450,000, though that's still plenty to work with at this point.
