Somerville was behind most of the way -- the opponent flashed the -- but that was a tidy river and a nice pot to move him up to a comfortable 66,000.
Tom Dwan has been broken into the Blue Section and it seems like every time he's in a pot -- which is often -- he creates a media frenzy. He, Lee Markholt and one other player went to a three-way flop of after Dwan opened pre-flop from under the gun for 825. Dwan continued for 1,625, driving Markholt out of the pot. The third player called.
The turn paired the board, . Dwan put the rest of his stack at risk, 6,700 in total. He did not get called. A few hands later Dwan was in again, pre-flop this time, after a raise, a call, and a re-raise. Nobody called.
The player under the gun opened the pot with a 900-chip raise, and from the cutoff seat, João Nunes popped it to 2,700. The blinds released, and the initial raiser moved all in. The new Team PokerStars Pro from Portugal called.
