Kaiser Rollin'

No-Limit Hold'em

When we reached the table, the board read {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, and Tom "durrrr" Dwan had checked to Ronny Kaiser. Kaiser fired 12,700 into a pot of about 22,000, and Dwan called.

The {j-Spades} on the turn paired the board, Dwan checked again, and Kaiser plopped 23,200 in front of him. Dwan went deep into the tank, staring at Kaiser before eventually check-raising to 62,000. Kaiser tank-called, and the river was the {8-Diamonds}.

Dwan tapped the felt with his index finger, and Kaiser paused before grabbing an entire stack of T25,000 and T5,000 chips, splashing them forward to put Dwan all in. Dwan sweated his cards one more time before releasing them, and Kaiser won the pot.
