More Jamming and No Calling

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Pablo Brito Silva jammed out of the small blind into the big blind of Rodrigo Seiji and found no caller.

Daniel Dvoress then pushed all-in from under the gun to claim the blinds and big blind ante. Brito Silva got a shove from the cutoff through before Dvoress pushed out of the small blind again. Ben Heath asked for a count and folded when it was deemed to be for 255,000.

Dvoress also jammed from the button and found no resistance.

Kulev Continues to Apply Pressure

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Daniel Dvoress min-raised to 50,000 from under the gun and Alex Kulev in the big blind was the only caller. They headed to the {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop and both players elected to check. Kulev then bet the {3-Spades} turn for 55,000 to pick up a call before he also bet the {9-Clubs} river for 160,000.

That represented nearly half of Dvoress' stack and he studied the table neighbour carefully prior to folding.
