Swain Turns a Set to Stay Alive
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
When action folded to Darrell Swain in the cutoff, he raised all in for 155,000. The player on the button made the call, and both the blinds folded. The players were heads up with Swain at risk.
Darrell Swain: 3♠3♣ 
Button: A♦K♠
Swain was ahead with his pocket threes, but when the flop came 7♣8♠K♥, Swain needed help to stay in the tournament. When the turn brought the 3♥, Swain left his opponent drawing dead and the 4♣ on the river gave Swain the double up.
