A Little Less Conversation, Even Less Action

[user135779]

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

There has been almost no action between the final seven players in this event, but we did finally manage to witness two full hands played out between Randy Dorfman and Oliver Speidel, then between Dorfman and JP Kelly.

The action folded to Speidel who raised to 3,500 from the cutoff and Dorfman called from the big blind before both players checked down the {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} board. Speidel tabled {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts} for a small pair, but it was good to take the pot down against's Dorfman's {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts} .

Then the action picked up significantly in the next hand - Kelly came in with a raise to 3,600 from under the gun and it folded around to Dorfman who reraised from the big blind, making it 8,800 to go. Kelly called, so it was heads-up to the flop of {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs} .

Dorfman led out for 5,500 and Kelly called; the dealer produced the {3-Diamonds} on the turn, which saw Dorfman fire a second shell worth 11,000. Kelly called again before both players checked the river of the {4-Diamonds} .
