Steven Takes a Chunk Out of Suvarna

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Brandon Steven had just lost a small pot to Alex Kulev, where he defended his big blind, called a small bet on the flop before the action checked through to showdown.

Steven showed ace-high on the KJ726 board but was bested by Kulev's 97. However, he rebounded strongly on the next deal.

Santhosh Suvarna raised from middle position, with [Removed:548] calling from the button. Steven tagged along from the small blind.

Steven checked on the 1043 flop, prompting Suvarna to continue for 24,000. [Removed:549] called but Steven then raised to 114,000. Suvarna contemplated his options, and ended up calling. [Removed:558] got out of the way.

Steven sized up to 167,000 on the Q turn, which pushed his opponent out of the pot.
