Sarwer Spared

After a player raised to 2,600 from the cutoff, Jeff Sarwer moved all in for another 6,000. Andrew Chen thought for a moment in the small blind, then minraised. It was just about enough to put the cutoff all in, and it only took him a second or two to fold his face up. It took him even less time to jump out of his seat in frustration when Sarwer tabled
and Chen showed
. "You know, raise, all in, reraise," said Mr. Cutoff. "I assumed I had to be beat."
The flop came , giving Sarwer a flush draw to go with his better kicker. The
turn and
river were uneventful, and Sarwer more than doubled to 22,000. After doubling Jeff, Chen was left with 38,000.
