Take Your Money Back

First into the pot from the cutoff, Jeff Sarwer came in raising to 20,000. Ryan Franklin was the only one to give him action, putting in the call from the big blind.

The flop came out {4-Spades} {2-Spades} {5-Hearts}, and Franklin checked. He would call a bet of 20,000 from Sarwer, and he would check-call another 58,000 when the turn brought the {3-Hearts}. The {A-Diamonds} on the river put a wheel on board, and both men checked.

Franklin tabled {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}, and Sarwer said, "Yeah, split pot." He hesitated to turn his cards over for a minute, but he realized he'd need to do so in order to claim half the pot. He turned over {K-Clubs} {7-Hearts} -- not great, but good enough for half the pot.
