Dembiec Gets a KO; Eclipses Six Figures

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Steven Dembiec
Steven Dembiec

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: {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Steven Dembiec: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The board came {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts} 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.

Trezak Doubles Through Himmelbrand

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jason Trezak opened the action with a raise to 3,500 from middle position and action folded around to Greg Himmelbrand, who defended his big blind. The flop fell {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Himmelbrand checked. Trezak made a continuation-bet of 4,000.

Himmelbrand check-raised to 11,000 and Trezak quickly pushed in his remaining chips. Himmelbrand just as quickly called.

Jason Trezak: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}
Greg Himmelbrand: {j-}{9-}

Trezak learned that his queen was not live to Himmelbrand's flopped top two pair, leaving him with eight outs to an open-ended straight draw. One of those eight came on the turn {k-Hearts} to give him a straight, and the river {k-Spades} completed the runout for him to earn a double.

Himmelbrand was down to about 14,000 after the hand and was seen earning a double on the following hand to bring him to his current total.

Pat Steele
Pat Steele

Jeremy Brown opened to 3,500 from under the gun and was three-bet to 8,700 by Pat Steele, who was in middle position. Walter Weiss cold-called from the hijack and action folded back to Brown, who also folded.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Steele made a continuation-bet of 7,500. Weiss called. Both players checked the turn {2-Spades} to bring the river {2-Clubs}. Steele fired out a bet and the dealer reached out to cut the bet. Weiss quickly announced a call.

Steele tabled {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for aces up.

"How much is that?" asked Weiss. The dealer continued her motion to break down Steele's bet, announcing it was 18,300. Weiss mucked his hand and paid off Steele, resulting in the pot being sent Steele's way.
