Mike Dentale

Mike Dentale raised from early position to 10,500 and was called by Christian Harder in the hijack and Philip Wiszowaty on the button.

They were three-handed to a flop of 6h5s2h. Dentale bet about 30,000 and Harder moved all in for 37,000. Wiszowaty folded and Dentale called.

Dentale showed KsKcAh5h, giving him a pair of kings and the nut flush draw. Harder showed Tc8h7h6c, giving him top pair, an open-ended straight draw and worse hearts.

The turn was the 3d and the river was the 5c. Dentale made trip fives and Harder didn’t improve. Harder was eliminated and Dentale chipped up as they near both the bubble and the final table.

With 16 players remaining, Dentale is one of the top stacks in the field.
