Dvoress Shows Hissou a Trey

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Before the blinds went up, Sirzat Hissou limped the small blind, Daniel Dvoress raised to 4,000 in the big blind, and Hissou called.

The dealer spread the {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop and Hissou check-called a bet of 6,000.

The {8-Diamonds} landed on the turn and Hissou check-called for 18,000.

The {a-Clubs} completed the board and Hissou checked again. Dvoress bet 60,000, leaving himself a single pink T-500 chip behind. Hissou went into the tank for several minutes and used nearly all of his time extensions. He took off his glasses and stared at both the board and Dvoress, but ultimately sent his cards into the muck.

"You can pick one," Dvoress told Hissou.

Hissou flipped over the {3-Diamonds}, as Dvoress raked in the chips.

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ole Schemion
Ole Schemion

Ole Schemion pushed his last few chips over the line from the cutoff and Daniel Dvoress three-bet to 12,500 from the small blind/ Matthias Eibinger folded his big blind to let them battle it out.

Ole Schemion: {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Daniel Dvoress: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The flop came {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} to bring chopping outs to the table.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} for Schemion to hit a pair and have a glimmer of hope of doubling up but the {k-Spades} came on the river to dash those dreams as it gave Dvoress a set to bust Schemion.
