Russ Dunlevy raised to 100,000 from the cutoff and Mike Dentale called from the small blind.

Both players checked and Dentale's 9♦9♣ was no good against Dunlevy's 10♠8♠.

"I give you my word, you're getting three-bet every time you raise my button," Dentale told Dunlevy. "That's the last time. Me and you go to war now. That's the last time you're gonna raise my button. I promise you on that."

"It might've been worse for you," Dunlevy interrupted.

"We're going to war, and it's gonna be worse. We're gonna play. All your chips are gonna be at risk. No more me playing soft to you. That's like the 15th time you've raised my blind, it's on kid. Try raising again, I dare ya. I'm dead serious, you think i'm kidding? All your chips are at risk. Either you're getting knocked out, or I'm getting knocked out."

"I believe you Mikey," replied Dunlevy.
