Sawa Visits the Bank of Reilly Again
Level 27
: 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
Rudolph Sawa just took another bite out of Mark Reilly's stack to hurdle over Reilly in the rankings.
It was a casual start to the hand, with Sawa raising to 125,000 under the gun and Reilly defending his big blind.
Reilly checked on the 
flop, and Sawa asked how much was in the pot. There was 275,000 in the middle, and Sawa chose the maximum bet. Reilly called the 275,000, and the big-pot alert was on. The 
turn was, however, checked by both players. Reilly checked the 
river, as well, but Sawa went for more value. He set the price at 400,000, and Reilly gave it some thought before calling.
Sawa had the second nuts, showing 
, assured of his victory. Reilly, indeed, didn't have the quads, and paid his opponent off again.
