Dempsey Triples Up in "Dream" Spot

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

We found Derek Dempsey with his stack of 21,100 all in preflop, having shoved over an all-in from a player in the blinds. A third player in the cutoff was thinking it over and decided to call off for slightly less.

Dempsey: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Cutoff: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Third player: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The three biggest hands had been dealt at once, with Dempsey leading. Plenty of paint flopped, but it was {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. The {10-Diamonds} turn and {5-Diamonds} river allowed Dempsey to lean back and breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's what you dream of," he said. "Only if that was kings too."

Players are on a 10-minute break, and registration will be closed at its conclusion.
