Slow Start

The early stages of the heads-up has been characterized by general caginess. Svensson received several walks in the big blind. A couple times Kersjes raised from the big blind to a limp from Svensson and Svensson passed.

Eventually they limp/checked their way to a flop, though; it was {7-Spades} {6-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}. Kersjes checked, Svensson bet 10,000 and Kersjes called.

The turn: {10-Diamonds}

Check, check.

The river: {K-Diamonds}

Kersjes bet out 18,500 and Svensson went into the tank for a surprisingly long time. Eventually he called, and mucked when Kersjes turned over {7-Hearts} {J-Clubs}.
