Play Is Tight

[user57954]

The play has been rather tight and careful so far on the final table. We have nine quality players and you get the feeling that with the blinds currently quite small compared to their chip counts, that they are prepared to be patient and wait for the goods before they strike.

Lenny Barshack was able to capture a small pot off Tom "Durrrr" Dwan early in the proceedings, however Dwan was able to take his chips back in the following hand.

The flop was {5-Diamonds}

and Barshack led with a bet of 4,000, to which Dwan called. The turn was the {2-Hearts}

and an 8,000 chip bet by Barshack was called once again. The river brings the {A-Spades}

and Barshack checks the action over to his opponent. Dwan cuts out chips and looks like making a value bet but thinks twice and checks his hand.

Barshack sheepishly flashes A-J-X-X knowing that his hand is beat as Dwan shows {3-Spades}
