Dydek Refuses to Die

The Czech Republic aren't known for supplying the poker world with too much ammo, but they're provided a fair amount of players on their home turf here in Prague. One of those is Lukas Dydek, who just found himself all in for his remaining 5,500 with {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} versus {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}.

The {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop did nothing except encourage Thierry van den berg to say, "Hey, I folded nine-deuce", and the {2-Diamonds} turn made little difference either, but a {10-Hearts} on the river was earth-shattering and enabled Dydek to survive by the very skin of his teeth. He now has circa 12,000 and a smile as wide as the Polish border.
