Shevtshenko is back at the €100 NL Speed Poker tables at paddypowerpoker. In this video he takes us through his thoughts on the format and dissects this very interesting hand on the right table below.

It was folded to our hero, who raised €2.50, the villain raised to €10 and we called. 

The villain continuation bets €12 on the flop and we call. 

Check-check the turn.

Villain bets the river for €28.
