Shvarev Takes From Tannous

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Under the gun, Roy Tannous limped, but had to add more chips to the pot to see the flop 235 as Vasilii Shvarev in the cutoff 3-bet to 3,000.

Tannous called, but both players checked on the first street. The J came on the turn, and Tannous took the lead, betting 3,000. Shvarev called, and called again a bet of 6,500 on the river 4.

"You win," said Tannous while looking at his cards. And he was right, as he threw them in the muck when Shvarev revealed AK.
