Battle of the Blinds
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
With about 5,000 in the middle, on a board reading 
, Daniel Dvoress led out for 2,000 from the small blind.
Michael Lech was in the big blind and raised to 5,000. Dvoress called.
The river was the 
. Dvoress checked and Lech grabbed one of the shorter, multi-colored stacks in front of him and plopped it in the middle. The dealer cut the chips out, revealing a bet of 21,500.
Dvoress laughed a little, true to his general demeanor at the table, and went into the tank. After a moment he tossed in a single chip, indicating a call.
Lech quickly tabled 
for two pair, kings and eights. Dvoress mucked his cards, sending the pot Lech's way.
