Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Dennis Dekenipp just claimed the chip lead after extracting value on the river.
The final board read 
when we strolled by, and Dekenipp had a bet of 16,000 pushed forward. The pot was already massive, containing dozens of the yellow T1000 chips and a motley assortment of other denominations.
Dekenipp's opponent did not appear to like doing so, but he called the river bet nonetheless, wincing noticeably when Dekenipp revealed his 
for a rivered straight. The other player said "I knew it" aloud to himself, before showing the 
for two pair on the flop.
