Kaverman Wins First Heat

Two succeeding pots gave Byron Kaverman the victory in the first heat of this heads-up match.

In the first hand, Kaverman had {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and lured Tom Marchese into the pot. Preflop he made the minimum raise to 4,800 and Marchese called with {J-Spades}{9-Spades}.

Marchese check-called three streets on {2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} and was left with only 15,000 chips.

In the next hand, Marchese pushed all-in with {K-Spades}{6-Hearts}, but was dominated by the {6-Clubs}{A-Clubs} from Kaverman, who had to call quickly, because he ran out of time.

He needed a king to survive, but the board ran out an uneventful {Q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, handing Kaverman the win in this first heat.
