Dempsey In the Dumps

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The flop was {5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and James Dempsey led out from the big blind for 5,400. Constantin Erhan on the button raised to 11,000 and Dempsey had a decision to make. Neither player had a huge pile of chips behind them so there was little to no wriggle room.

Dempsey opted to call and saw the turn come the {5-Diamonds}. Dempsey checked and a bet of 7,500 from Erhan saw a shove from Dempsey and a quick call.

Dempsey tabled {q-Spades}{10-Spades} for top pair but Erhan had a set with his {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

The river was the {10-Hearts} and a double up for Erhan saw Dempsey down to fumes.
