Fatehi Thriving Early

Ali Reza Fatehi changed tables twice and by then had amassed a nice profit already when raising from under the gun. Byron Kaverman called from two seats over and they headed to the flop . Fatehi continued for 7,500 and was called before firing a second barrel worth 8,700 on the turn.

Again Kaverman called before both players then checked the river. Fatehi flipped over for top pair, but had a kicker issue versus Kaverman's .

One hand later, Daniel Dvoress raised from the button and Fatehi called in the big blind. The Iranian checked his option and Dvoress bet 3,500 before immediately facing "I raise" and the squeeze of Fatehi to 8,000. That did the trick, as Dvoress released his cards.
