Mike Dentale

On a flop of JcTc9d, a player in middle position checked and Mike Dentale bet 11,000 on the button. His opponent check-called and the turn was the 5d.

Middle position checked again and Dentale bet again, this time 20,000. His opponent came along again.

The river was the 6s and both players checked. Middle position showed Kc4c, having missed his combo draw, and Dentale showed 9x8x, which won the pot with a pair of nines.

Dentale started off his trip on the right foot with a win in the $2,200 no-limit hold’em eight-max and is keeping the momentum going with one of the bigger stacks in this event.

Mike Dentale – 170,000
