Dembiec Gets a KO; Eclipses Six Figures
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action folded around to the hijack and he shoved all in for around 15,000. Steven Dembiec was waiting in the big blind and called when it became his turn to do so.
Hijack: 
Steven Dembiec: 
The board came 
to give Dembiec a full house after the runout, leaving his opponent dry on chips. Dembiec was seen with 4,200 a couple of levels ago and looked to be on his way out, but things have turned for him as of late and he now finds himself with around double the average stack with five tables and less than four hours of play left in the night.
