Dirksen Gets Much-Needed Pot
Level 9
Dustin Dirksen, runner-up in the $10,000 championship edition of this event last year, was sitting on a short stack as he raised from the big blind after an opponent on the button limped in. The button called as they saw a flop of 2♣6♠J♠.
Dirksen continued with a bet and the button called. Both players checked the 7♦ turn.
The river came the K♥ and Dirksen led out again. The button gave the decision some thought before flinging in a call.
"Two pair," Dirksen announced, turning over A♠10♣K♣2♥ for kings and deuces as he took in the pot to climb back up near the starting stack.
