Sarwer Doubles Through Skampa in Gigantic Bluff Gone Wrong

Jeff Sarwer made it 90,000 under the gun. In the big blind, Jan Skampa made it 260,000. Sarwer now made it 695,000. Skampa announced all in to cover Sarwer. Insta-call.

Wow.

Sarwer: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}
Skampa: er, {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

Nevertheless, Sarwer, beset by dreadful outdraws today, looked very afraid. "Nothing I can do, it's out of my hands," he told the rail. "I made the right decision." This drew applause from the rail, delighted to have some kind of spectacle to keep them amused. "You go to the toilet, we'll tell you after," offered Pierre Neuville.

Board: {6-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {9-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}

Sarwer stood up and raised his arms in the international posture of I Am A Golden God. Then he did a lap of honour, high-fiving rail and media alike. "I'm sorry," he said to Skampa, "I'm not used to poker at this level."

By the by, Matias folded {6-?} {2-?}, which would have made him quads plus a pair.

Skampa - down to 550,000
Sarwer - gigantic chip leader on 4-5 million
