Dirksen Talks His Opponent Into a Gamble
Big O
Dustin Dirksen and an opponent were heads-up on a flop of 6♦J♦3♥ when his opponent, in the hijack, bet 4,000. Dirksen then raised to 16,000 in the big blind.
"You got quads again over there," Dirksen asked. "You've got two rebuys left. You got to gamble right now," he added before his opponent then moved all in for around 35,000. Dirksen quickly called, having him barely covered.
All-In Player: K♣7♠5♣4♣2♦
Dustin Dirksen: A♦K♠6♥6♣2♥
Dirksen had flopped a set, while his opponent had a straight draw. "You've got a huge hand," Dirksen told him.
The board, though, ran out 9♥10♣ and Dirksen's hand held up to send his opponent to the rail.
"The sharks are in the water. They sense that I'm down," Dirksen said, claiming to already be stuck $100,000 after busting the $50,000 PPC earlier today.
