Dewitt Takes One from Radel

With the action folding round to Jason Dewitt on the button he bumped the action to 24,000 with Andrew Radel making the call from the big blind.

The flop of {7-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Spades} was checked by both players to see the {2-Clubs} land on the turn followed by a 33,000-chip bet from Radel.

Dewitt splashed the pot with a call and then checked behind when the {Q-Spades} peeled on the river.

Radel tabled {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for just Ace-high as Dewitt turned over his {K-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for a pair and the pot.

Jason Dewitt limped in from the button, and once the small blind had passed, Andrew Radel checked his option.

On the flop of {5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts} Radel lead out for 10,000 with Dewitt making the call. The {K-Clubs} on the turn brought a 24,000-chip bet from Radel, and after a few moments of deliberation Dewitt again made the call.

The river landed the {2-Diamonds} and Radel continued his aggression by firing 30,000 at Dewitt. Dewitt sat in the tank for near two minutes before laying his hand down to let Radel scoop the pot and climb to 460,000 in chips.
