"I'm Not Sweatin' It"

Level 28: 25,000-50,000, 5,000 ante

The crowd appears to be more concerned about McLean Karr doubling up Andy Seth than he is.  The boisterous crowd quieted down after the pivotal hand, save for the occasional clap or two or, "You can do it, McLean."

Karr is taking the beat in stride and assured the audience: "I'm not sweatin' it."
