Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Tony Gregg opened for a raise to 65,000 from under the gun, and Curt Kohlberg, who just doubled through Gregg, called in the cutoff. Byron Kaverman raised to 185,000 on the button, Gregg got out of the way, and Kohlberg shoved for effectively 825,000. Kaverman called.
Kaverman: 
Kohlberg: 
The 
flop didn't directly improve Kohlberg's hand, but he added two backdoor straight draws and a backdoor flush draw, and could still make a superior pair with an 
or a 
. The 
on the turn kept his wheel draw alive, and ten cards in the deck could eliminate Kaverman, but the 
on the river wasn't one of them.
Kaverman doubled through to 1.725 million, while Kohlberg was cut back down to 1.19 million.
