McDowell Wins a Big One in the First Level
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 0 ante
Volodymyr Fasii in the cutoff and John McDowell in the small blind were battling heads up. Around 1,400 chips went in preflop before the flop came down 
. McDowell checked to Fasii who put out a bet of 700, which quickly got called by McDowell.
The turn 
saw Fasii up the ante to 1,100 after another check by McDowell, and he received a call from his opponent yet again.
On the 
river, McDowell checked for a third time, leading to a big bet of 3,000 from Fasii. McDowell responded with an almost instantaneous raise to 7,000, which Fasii called almost as quickly. McDowell showed 
for the best full house possible, and this was enough to win him a sizable early pot.
