"You Win This Pot, You Win the Whole Tournament"

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop. Players were heads up, the board read J95 and Dustin Dirksen had made a pot-sized bet of 165,000, representing the majority of his stack. His opponent Kevin Marcotte was deep in the tank.

"You win this pot, you win the whole tournament" Dirksen told his opponent.

After some time, Marcotte announced "Pot", putting Dirksen all in with a covering stack. Dirksen quickly made the call.

Dustin Dirksen: QJ109
Kevin Marcotte: AAK9

Dirksen was ahead with top two-pair against Marcotte's overpair. The board ran out 3K giving Marcotte a higher two-pair while improving Dirksen to a queen-high straight. Marcotte was left short-stacked while Dirksen scooped a pivotal pot less than a dozen places away from the money bubble.
