Mount Dylan Erupts

When Dylan Bircheff responds to the conclusion of a hand, you're never sure whether he has won or lost, or even choppped!

As seems customary with any of his showdowns, Bircheff rises from his seat, walks around and shouts out random motivational phrases to himself.

As the final card is dealt, he positively erupts, shouting, punching the air and generally refusing to confine any tensions he may have.

His recent encounter followed a similar pattern, and again it wasn't until the hand was reported that we actually found out who'd won.

It was Tom Braband who was all in, his A-K looking to hit against Bircheff's nines. However, no ace or king emerged, the third nine on the turn of a 7-5-2-9-8 board giving Bircheff the set, the hand, and a notch on his poker bedpost.

Bircheff is now on 80,000.
