Dicken Broken

David Dicken - Eliminated
David Dicken - Eliminated
From early position, David Dicken opened the action with a raise to 1,000 straight. Three players called him, including both blinds.

With four-way action, the dealer spread out a flop of {6-Spades} {A-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}. The blinds checked, and Dicken continued out with 2,400 chips. That folded one player, while Jesse Hale called from the small blind. Big blind David Hiers announced a raise, flicking out 7,000 chips. Quickly, Dicken moved all in, prompting Hale to fold, and putting his own tournament life on the line.

Showdown:
Hiers: {7-Clubs} {7-Spades}
Dicken: {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

Dicken was all in and way behind. The {10-Spades} on the turn left him drawing to a gutshot straight, but the {Q-Hearts} on the river was useless. With that, Dicken stood, wished his table luck, and headed for the door.

The Hiers family, both Michelle and David, are alive and well here in the Championship Event.
