Dimmig Digs In

Cheektowaga's own Jonathan Dimmig has emerged as the chip leader.

He told PokerNews his biggest hand of the day came when he flopped a set of tens against a Broadway straight. All the money went in the middle on the turn and he rivered a boat to collect what amounted to more than 50k.

It hasn't been all luck for Dimmig, however, as we just managed to witness him flashing signs of some serious skills.

The hand began with a raise to 2,500 from Travell Thomas on the button. Dimmig responded with a three-bet to 5,500 from the small blind and after Thomas called, they went heads-up to the {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop.

Dimmig immediately led out for another 5,500, but when Thomas made it 17k, effectively commiting himself to the pot, Dimmig folded {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} face up.

Thomas showed {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for the straight, letting Dimmig know his two pair was no good and he'd made a rather good fold.
