Sewell's Sweatin'

Nível 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player raised to 4,100 from early position and was called by a middle position opponent before California's Gary Sewell three-bet shoved for 25,100 in the hijack. The early position player thought for a few moments before four-bet jamming, which quickly chased off the middle position player.

Gary Sewell:
Opponent:

Sewell's Big Slick looked good on the flop, but his opponent picked up the nut-flush draw on the turn.

Sewell's opponent said, "Five!" in hopes of at least a chop, as the turn also gave both players a wheel draw, but the river was safe for Sewell's double-up.

"Wow, had to sweat that one!" Sewell said with a smile as he scooped in the pot.
