"Dynamonster" Chips Back Up

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 150 ante

Marc "14alonso14" Macdonnell and "Dynamonster" had lost a portion of their stacks on the same table while "efkinis24" and Luckbox1326" were thriving early on. The latter was involved in a pot once more and three-bet preflop, which only "Dynamonster" called.

"Luckbox1326" then bet the {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Spades} flop for 15,000 into 24,000 to get called and bet the {6-Spades} turn for 17,820, picking up yet another call. On the {3-Diamonds} river they slowed down and "Dynamonster" won the pot with a bet of 59,000, which forced a fold.
