Ashwani Dewan Leads Early On

Level 2: 200 / 300 ante: 300

Ashwani Dewan had already chipped up a ton and then raises it up against Smhuel Rechor, who jokingly declares "I am not folding". Rechor also calls the 5,000 bet by Dewan on the A♣ 7♥ 5♣ 8♠ J♠ and gets shown T♥ 9♠ for the nuts.

"You just can't miss," another player jokes.
