Sarwer Vs. Matias Epic Raising War; Matias Wins

Antonio Matias raised to 130,000 on the button and Jeff Sarwer called in the big blind. All fine so far.

They saw a {2-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} flop and Sarwer checked. In fact, for the sake of clarity, let's document the action in list format:

- Sarwer checked
- Matias bet 160,000
- Sarwer check-raised to 380,000
- Matias reraised to 780,000
- Sarwer four-bet to 1.38 million
- Matias five-bet all in

Sarwer was left with a serious decision. He shook his head, smiling. Matias grinned back and shrugged. "Eh, what can I do?' he said cheerfully. He put his shades on, somehow removed one of the lenses, and winked at Sarwer through the empty frame. For this he received a round of applause.

Eventually Sarwer passed, with his customary, "Nice hand." He is down to 3 million. Matias flashed him a {Q-Spades} for his trouble.
