Swift Swiftly Doubles Her Stack

GeoffFisk

"Nice hand; I'm going to hit a queen though," said the player on the button. That didn't happen, as the ace came in for a set for Swift on a runout.

Swift, who's attended every Run It Up Reno festival since the event's inception, has plenty of chips to play with as Level 15 rolls on.
