Dentale Dethrones Three Kings

Michael Dentale

The player under the gun opened for 9,000 and cleared the field all the way to Michael Dentale on the button. He pushed back with a three-bet to 25,000, his opponent four-bet 58,500 and Dentale moved all in for 192,000. His opponent, who had him covered, made the call and it was what one might expect.

Showdown
Dentale: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop was harmless enough, but the {K-Hearts} spiked on the turn essentially kick Dentale out the door via a bad beat. Fortunately for him, which he expressed with a loud, "YES," the {J-Diamonds} hit on the river to give him a Broadway straight and the win, doubling him to a massive 394,500.
