Duvnjak Pips Jin, Hong Folds Out Dvoress

Play is starting slowly as the 43 current entries ease into the High Roller but we do have a couple of small hands for you.

In the first, it was Croatia’s Zdravko Duvnjak opening the action with a raise to 500 from late position and China’s Yinfeng Jin elected to defend from the big blind to take play heads-up to a flop of .

Jin led into Duvnjak on the flop to the tune of 500 and the Croatian smooth called to bring the action to the turn, which slowed down the action slightly and both players checked.

Jin fired again, this time for 700 on the river and Duvnjak quickly called. The Chinese player turned over but this was not enough to beat Duvnjak’s and he wins his first pot of the day.

Nan Hong is another who can put a tick in the ‘pot won’ box after raising to 600 from the button and finding a caller in big blind Daniel Dvoress.

Both players checked the flop and after Dvoress checked for a second time on the turn Hong fired for 1,025. This was enough to get Dvoress to give it up and Hong raked in the small pot.
