Swidler Trending Up

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

In one of the first hands beck from dinner, Carter Swidler had a short-stacked opponent all in preflop. Swidler's {a-}{q-} was racing against his opponent's {7-}{7-}, but he flopped a boat when the dealer fanned {a-}{a-}{q-}. Swidler's opponent didn't hit running sevens, and the Canadian is now up to 54,000 chips.
