Albert Iversen Advances

We pick up the action on the flop over at Table 264. The board showed {9-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {3-Spades}, and action was on Albert Iversen. He bet out 5,000, and Steven Crawford raised to 10,000. Iversen three-bet it up to 35,000, and Crawford moved all in for just about 100,000. Iversen quickly called.

Showdown
Iversen: {7-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}
Crawford: {6-Spades} {9-Spades}

Iversen was well ahead, but he still had to fade spades two times. The turn {2-Clubs} was safe, and the {3-Clubs} that filled out the board locked up the pot for Iversen. He'll move on to Round 2 without Steven Crawford.
