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 K♣J♥7♣2♦6♥ board but was bested by Kulev's 9♥7♦. 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 10♦4♥3♦ 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.
