A Dark Horse

With a near five million in tournament winnings and a record that would induce RSI if scrolled through, Dewey Tomko is perhaps one of the most underrated players in the game, and a dark hose for snapping up a bracelet. Today, he's giving limit a go, and is currently residing on a table in the very centre of the quadrant.

Passing through, I spotted Tomko engulfed in a hand, calling an UTG+1 raise preflop from middle position and reaching a three-way {7-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} flop along with the big blind. The initial aggressor continuation bet, but then checked down a {5-Hearts} turn and {5-Diamonds} river upon receiving two callers. In the end, it was the big blind who took it down, showing {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} to scoop a small, but handy pot.
