The Sweeney Swoops In

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Huge pot for Andrew Sweeney as he doubled up to 700,000 crippling Istvan Birizdo in the process.

Birizdo had made a big move with {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs} but Sweeney had {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} and held on a {3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{9-Spades} board.

Birizdo was left with just 100,000 remaining which went in as a three-bet shove against Jean-Yves Malherbe's initial 12,000 open. The Frenchman wasn't the problem though, Sotirios Koutoupas in the big blind calling the shove was. Malherbe quickly folded to leave Birizdo in trouble.

Birizdo: {J-Spades}{8-Spades}
Koutoupas: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The board came {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and the tournament was down another player.
