Sarwer Likes the River

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Jeff Sarwer is up to 38,000 after a fortunate river card came to his rescue.

The action was three-way to the turn where the board read {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{j-Spades}. Sarwer led for 2,200 from the small blind and was called by the big blind. The third player folded.

The river came {7-Spades} and Sarwer's 5,000 bet was called. He tabled {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a straight and the big blind seemed frustrated and threw his cards into the muck. "Turned my hand into a bluff on the turn but got there on the river," commented the Canadian.
