Raising Machine

James Dempsey was in the middle of a chat with Glen Chorny about how much the Englishman had been raising today, when Demsey found another hand he liked enough to raise and it happened to be into Chorny's big blind. The raise was to 3,000 and found a call from the player on the button before the short-stacked small blind went all in for 13,600.

Chorny folded before Demsey tried to isolate and shoved over a big stack of 5,000 chips. It worked as the player on the button folded to leave it heads-up. Dempsey tabled {9-Clubs} {9-Spades} and his opponent winced and we see why as he revealed {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}.

The dealer took us all the way to the river on this one {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {7-Hearts}.

A set of nines was good enough to see Dempsey rise up to 129,000, while his opponent took the walk of shame out of the room.
