Deeb v. Sarwer

Shaun Deeb and Jeff Sarwer are sitting together again, as they did for a day during EPT Warsaw a few weeks ago. So it's safe to say they're familiar with each other. And after this last pot, that's even more true.

On a turned board showing {7-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs}, the two men had already built a pot of about 50,000. Sarwer checked, and Deeb fired a bet of 22,300. Sarwer then stuck in a check-raise to 45,000, and Deeb went into the tank for several minutes. He eventually took off his shades to get a better look, and, after several more minutes, he called.

The river came the {4-Spades}, putting trips on board. Sarwer knocked the table this time, and Deeb thought it over for another several minutes. He eventually checked behind, and Sarwer tabled {7-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}. "Just a seven," he said, unsure. It was good though; Deeb mucked his hand with a frown, slipping down to about 60,000. Sarwer, on the other hand, seems to have just pipped the 200,000-chip mark with that pot.
