The Best Laid Plans

[user75032]

Tony Dunst is working extra hard today to keep pace with Julian Powell, but his opponents and his cards aren't always cooperating. Dunst raised to 1,050 from middle position and was called by three players. All four players checked the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

flop. On the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

turn, action checked to the button player, who bet 1,500 before William Te Jr. moved all in for 3,300. Everyone folded to that raise.

"And all I wanted to do was steal the blinds with my medium ace," joked Dunst after the hand.

A few hands later, he raised preflop. The small blind moved all in for 5,500. Dunst called with {A-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

but was behind his opponent's pocket jacks. Dunst couldn't connect when the board ran out {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

.

After these hands, his stack slipped back to about 25,000.
