Swift Flops the Nuts, Sverko Makes a Tight Fold
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
David Swift raised to 85,000 with A♠K♠ from under the gun and Gregor Sverko called in early position holding 8♦8♣.
Swift flopped the nuts on 4♠9♠7♠ as he made a flush, and he bet 50,000. Sverko called and picked up an open-ended straight draw on the 6♣ turn. Swift, still with the nuts, fired 100,000, and again Sverko called.
The 10♣ river was disastrous for Sverko as he made a straight, and was faced with a bet as Swift threw out 575,000. Sverko smirked and rechecked his cards a few times.
"Very tight fold," said Sverko as he threw his cards away. Swift didn't show, but Sverko will give himself a pat on the back when he watches that back later.
