Dolan Deflated

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

We picked up a heads-up pot on the flop just as the dealer spread out {A-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {Q-Spades}. From the blinds, the gentleman first to act shoved all in for 9,400. It was a small overbet of the pot, and Dolan took just a moment to make sure before sticking the chips in the middle.

"Nice call," his opponent said, turning up his airball {K-Clubs} {10-Hearts}. Dolan's {A-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} was indeed well in front, but the {K-Hearts} turn was a big sweat. Dolan needed to fade ten outs to tally the knockout, but he could not dodge the {J-Diamonds} on the river.

"Straight!" someone else at the table astutely noted.

After taking a moment to settle, the winner of the pot said, "Sorry, bro."

Dolan was in no mood to chat. "I mean... whatever," he said flatly. "I don't care." The November Niner is down to 13,900 after taking that beat.
