Choleva Gets There on the River
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
After two limps in front of him, Andrew Asher raised to 1,200 in the hijack and was called by Nick Hammarstrom in the big blind and John Choleva in middle position.
The flop came 10♥2♠6♣ and Choleva bet 3,000. Asher and Hammarstrom called to see the 8♥ turn, where Choleva bet another 5,000. Both opponents again called.
The river was the J♠ and Choleva bet 10,000. Only Asher called this time. He turned over A♦10♦, but Choleva had J♣10♠ for a rivered two pair to win the pot.
Dan Larson busted after losing the big pot to Ian Huber but quickly reentered. Defending champion Dan Burcham has also joined the field.
