Swidler Scores Easy Double Up

Level 1 : 200/400, 50 ante

We caught this hand with Carter Swidler and Yosuke Sekiya as the board had already been dealt out. According to the players at the table, the two got in a raising war preflop, with all of the money getting in with Swidler holding {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} and Sekiya holding a dominated {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. The board never brought a sweat, as it ran out {2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Swidler took the chips to double up to around 110,000. Sekiya is still very much in it, as he dropped to just 22,000.
