Diamonds: A Lady’s Best Friend, And Erik Svoboda’s Too

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Bradley Gafford raised from early position and was called by Erik Svoboda in middle position and Kurt Jewell in the cutoff.

The first three community cards were 8♦7♦3♦. Action checked to Jewell, who bet 12,000. Gafford folded, and Svoboda made the call.

The turn brought the 2♦. Svoboda checked, and this time, Jewell bet 21,000. After some thought, Svoboda stuck in the call.

Both players checked on the K♠ river. Svoboda tabled Q♦Q♥, which was good for the win.
