That promoted Daniel Dvoress to come along from the button, Steve O'Dwyer to do the same in the small blind, and Mike "Timex" McDonald folded the big to ruin the family pot.
When the flop came down , O'Dwyer checked and Vogelsang continued for 4,000. Okhotski called, both Dvoress and O'Dwyer folded, and it was heads-up action to the turn.
