Dolan's Got Game

Joseph El Khoury got involved with John Dolan in a sizable pot just a few moments ago. Khoury was left with a lot less chips and it wasn't due to a made hand from the November Niner. Dolan showed us he's got game, and undoubtably so as he waded his way through well over 7,300 players to reach the WSOP Main Event final table about a month ago. Here's how Dolan was able to chip up to roughly 127,000.

On the flop of {10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} there sat about 4,700 chips in the middle when Khoury checked to Dolan. He fired 2,500 and was met with a check-raise to 5,875 from Khoury. Dolan didn't back off and after thinking for a bit, fired back with a reraise to 17,600. After a minute of thought, Khoury made the call.

The turn brought the {4-Spades} and the pot stayed the same size with both players checking to see the {5-Diamonds} fall on the river. After Khoury checked, Dolan fired a pot-sized bet of 36,000. The bet was for most of Khoury's chips, who tanked for a few minutes. He would eventually lay his hand down to which Dolan tossed over the {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}.
