Texas Dolly
Texas Dolly
Nobody ever accused Texas Dolly of not having any gamble in him. After Lyle Berman raised to 3,000, Doyle Brunson reraised to 10,000. Berman considered his options for a few moments before reraising all in for 44,000. Brunson made the call.

With both players all in, there was no need for mystery on the draw. Berman turned over K-8-6-4-2, discarding the king. Brunson showed J-7-6-4-2, discarding the jack. Each player squeezed his cards out in turn. Berman squeezed out a 5 to make an 8-6 low. Brunson could only win by squeezing out one of the remaining 5s or a 3. Sure enough, he squeezed out a 3 to make a 7-6-4-3-2, the second nuts.
