With 2,400 in the pot preflop, Dustin Dirksen bet 1,500 on a flop of {8-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {4-Spades}. His opponent called from the button. When the turn came {7-Spades}, Dirksen checked, then called a bet of 2,000. He led out again for 2,500 on the river {Q-Spades}. His opponent tanked for three minutes before calling the river bet. Whatever he had in the hole couldn't beat Dirksen's two pair that he made with {Q-Hearts} {4-Hearts}.

Dirksen now has about 50,000 in chips.
