Dvoress Wins Showdown

Josh Noy

Level 7 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Joakim Andersson opened to 10,000 from the cutoff and found calls from Daniel Dvoress in the small blind and Aliaksandr Shylko in the big blind.

Two checks on the 3♠K♠2♦ saw Andersson continue for 10,000, resulting in a call from Dvoress and a fold from Shylko.

Dvoress checked again on the A♥ turn and called when Andersson fired 30,000. Another check from Dvoress followed the Q♣ river, calling once more when Andersson bet 50,000.

Andersson revealed A♦10♥ for top pair, but Dvoress showed down A♣J♥ for a better kicker to take the pot.
