Jim Cavanaugh had taken one pot of high value from Greg Dyer earlier in the level but Dyer avenged his earlier loss but doubling up through Cavanaugh.

Cavanaugh opened to 125,000 on the button and Dyer shoved for 890,000 out of the small blind. Cavanaugh said it was “close” and thought for a moment before calling with 3♣3♦. It was a flip with Dyer holding K♠J♥ and the 9♠9♦7♣ flop gave Dyer immediate counterfeit outs.

The 10♥ turn gave Dyer a double-gutshot to along with his overcards and counterfeit outs. The Q♣ river completed Dyer’s straight and gave him the double, taking almost half of Cavanaugh’s stack in the process.

Dyer doubles to 1,900,000 and Cavanaugh falls back to 1,125,000.
