Sarwer Steamed By Patel's Catch
Nivel 20
: 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Fresh off of his recent double-up, Emil Patel raised to 24,000 before the flop and picked up Jeff Sarwer and Roland Israelashvili. The flop fell 
and all three players checked
The turn came 
and Sarwer led out for a bet of 32,000. This forced Israelashvili to muck but Patel was persistent and made the call. The 
was the river card and the action was checked around.
Sarwer announced "two-pair" but was discouraged to see Patel flip up his 
for a rivered straight. The chess master began to needle Patel for his perceived luck throughout the tournament, saying "nice river... nice catch, once again." Sarwer was spotted shaking his head a full two minutes after the beat while Patel simply stacked his new chips in silence.
