Sarwer Says Checkmate With Set Over Set Flop
After Cody Munger opened for 33,000 before the flop, Jeff Sarwer, Elie Payan, and Rafe Kibrit all made the call.
Flop:
First to act, Payan led out for a pot-sized bet of 132,000 and Munger released his hand. Sarwer immediately declared "re-pot" and shoved his entire stack of 494,000 into the middle. Kibrit got out of the way and Payan decided to make the call, putting Sarwer at risk for his tournament life.
Showdown:
Payan:
Sarwer:
Both players had flopped sets but Sarwer was in command with his three queens. The filled both players up and eliminated any draw possibilities. Payan would now need to spike the case eight to come from behind and eliminate Sarwer.
River:
With that, Sarwer had scored a majore double up and now sits with over 1,100,000 chips, while Payan took a significant hit to his stack.
