Dawson Sends One Up the Creek

We came on this hand with the board showing {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and about 7,000 already in the middle. Playing from the big blind, David Dawson led with a bet of 5,500, then Mohamad Saadeghvaziri reraised all in behind for approximately 12,000. A third player on the button folded, but Dawson called, turning over {K-Clubs}{K-Spades} (overpair) to Saadeghvaziri 's {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} (open-ended straight draw).

The turn was the {7-Spades} and river the {J-Spades}, and Saadeghvaziri is out, although it appears he is about to re-enter right away.

On the very next hand, Dawson would raise his small blind and take another small blind, then showed his hand — {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Things are going well for Dawson at the moment, who right now has one of the bigger stacks in the room with more than 85,000.
