Sweidy Hooks Hum

George Sweidy
George Sweidy
We walked over to Table 1 to see cards on their backs with Georges Sweidy all in. In front of him lay {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}, and Baba Hum was looking to send him home with {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}.

Salvation would find Sweidy though as the board ran down {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {2-Clubs}. Finding his third of a kind, Georges has picked up a crucial double up, working his short stack up to a respectable 32,000. Hum, opn the other hand, has been sliding today. He's down to 65,000, about half of his start-of-day count.
