Day: 3
Level: 22
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 4,000
Flop: -- check, check
Turn:
Dirksen now bets out 121,000. Hinkle very slowly calls.
River:
Now Dirksen bets 200,000, bringing the pot total to 643,000 at this point. Hinkle takes an age considering his action, counting out the 200,000 before him, before raising another 300,000. Pot is now 1.143 million. Dirksen lays it down.
Flop:
Brockington bets out 125,000, and Dirksen gives it up.
But wait, Bjorin pushes all in!
It's 113,000 total.
Hinkle doesn't seem keen, but makes the call.
Hinkle =
Bjorin =
Flop =
"Ace of diamonds!" demand the Hinkle rail.
Turn
"You've got a pair!" they continue.
River =
No joy for Bjorin who exits in sixth after a plucky performance that would have put Rocky Balboa to shame.
Flop:
Dirksen checks, and Hinkle bets 125,000. It's enough to make Dirksen pass, and Hinkle takes the pot.
Bjorin checks, as does Dirksen.
Turn =
Bjorin checks again, Dirksen makes it 65,000 and takes down the pot.
