2008 World Series of Poker
Event 23 - $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em
Day: 3
Hand #28 - Dirksen
"Fire in the Hole"
Speaking to the announcer during the break, he was keen to confirm that his catchphrase was all his own work, although yet to be patented, which I feel is a mistake.
"It's all in the delivery," he claimed. "It's the pause that makes it."
Hand #27 - Steicke
Steicke leads out for a bet of 96,000. Hinkle removes a handful of orange chips from the tip of his stack and makes the call.
Turn =
Again, Steicke leads out, this time for 173,000. Hinkle lays it down.
Hand #26 - Dirksen
Bjorin checks, and Dirksen bets around 50,000. Bjorin calls.
Bjorin bets around 100,000, and DIrksen moves all in. Bjorin passes.
Hand #25 - Bjorin Gets a Walk
Hand #24 - Steicke
Hand #23 - Dominik Kulicki Eliminated in Seventh Place ($81,944)
Hinkle =

Cheers from the crowd.
Turn =
River =
The danafish jinx strikes, and it looks as though we'll have to wait before seeing the birth of a Dutch bracelet winner.
Hand #22 - Kulicki
Hinkle:
Kulicki:
Board: ... !
The Dutchman doubles up to 247,000. A Dutchman has never won a bracelet -- and although he's still short, Kulicki stays in the running.
Hand #21 - O'Brien
The members of the audience gasp as the hands are revealed.
O'Brien =
Steicke =
Steicke shrugs his shoulders.
Flop =
Steicke still needs that king...
Turn =
O'Brien looking good for a double up...
River
King-less card for O'Brien, who now jumps up to 397,000.
