It's All Sawa After Dinner; Hicks Gives Him Massive Double

Rudolph Sawa has been successful in pots against Mark Reilly, but he topped it with a tremendous hit to Eric Hicks' stack.

Sawa was under the gun, and he limped. Hicks potted from the small blind, and Sawa stuck around for the required 200,000.

Hicks continued on the flop, betting 250,000. Sawa called instantly. The turn was checked by Hicks, inducing a bet worth 350,000 from Sawa. Hicks paused for a moment, then potted it to 1,950,000. Sawa snap-called. He had only 1,760,000 total, and he double-checked whether he was all in so that the cards could be rolled over.

Rudolph Sawa:
Eric Hicks:

Hicks knew he was in a huge trouble, and he didn't want to show his cards that quickly. When it became clear he had kings, his railbirds couldn't believe it. Hicks turned toward them, saying, "I got a king coming. Don't worry."

However, the dealer didn't oblige, revealing the river, giving Sawa quads instead.
