Straver in the Lead With Turned Set

Frank Visser

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Johannes Straver raised to 60,000 from middle position and Daniel Dvoress called from the hijack. Straver then checked on the 7?6?K? flop, after which Dvoress made a bet of 65,000.

Straver made the call before the J? turn fell. Straver checked again and Dvoress sized up to 280,000. Straver spent a few time banks but eventually made the call.

The 2? river was checked by both players in quick succession and Straver showed J?J? for a set of jacks. Dvoress' cards disappeared into the muck as he traded over the chip lead to his neighbor.
