Silva Doubles Through Sarwer in Gigantic Cooler/Suckout Scenario

[user46392]

Jeff Sarwer opened for 70,000 from the cutoff and Antonio Matias flat-called on the button. Over to Joao Silva in the small blind, who announced all in for 945,000. While Silva was still engaged in pushing stacks of chips across the line, Sarwer announced a call. Matias got out of their way, and they were on their backs.

Silva: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Sarwer: {A-Hearts} {A-Spades}

Board divided into streets for dramatic tension...

Flop: {2-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {2-Clubs}

Turn: {8-Spades}

River: ...

...

... {K-Spades}!

With an unbelievable roar from the crowd, the Portuguese player doubled to over 2 million. He violently high-fived a friend at the rail with a sound like a gunshot, before coming over to Sarwer and giving him a consolatory rub on the shoulder, which probably was no consolation at all. The expressionless Sarwer is down to 800,000.
