Dirksen Shows No Fear

If there's one person that doesn't fear big stacker and table bully Blair Hinkle, it's the ever-active Dustin Dirksen.

With Dirksen raising it up to 52,000 preflop, Hinkle made it 100,000 and Dirksen called.

On the {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop, Hinkle bet out 175,000 and Dirksen again flat-called.

The {K-Diamonds} on the turn led to a check from Hinkle, followed by a bet from Dirksen of 225,000.

Thinking he was behind, Hinkle made the fold, but was briskly shown {9-Spades}{5-Spades}.
