Dvoress Guns Down Hong’s Snowmen

We caught the action on the flop as Daniel Dvoress and Nan Hong tangled once again, with Hong choosing to defend from the blinds for the second time.

With the board reading and nearly 8,000 already in the pot, Hong had checked the action over to Dvoress, who fired for 4,700. Hong tanked until there were 3-seconds on the shot clock before throwing out the call and the hit the river.

Now Hong tried to seize the initiative and led for a pot-sized bet of 16,500 prompting Dvoress to stare him down calculatingly. The Canadian burned through the allotted 30-seconds of time and the first of his time bank chips and there was just 1-second remaining on the clock before Dvoress threw in the call.

Hong turned over for a pair of eights but Dvoress rolled over the rockets, to pad out his stack and take a chunk of Hong’s chips.
