Dentale Runs into Aces

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Mike Dentale
Mike Dentale

A player limped in early position and another player in the lojack raised to 1,600. Reg Powell called from the cutoff and Mike Dentale called from the small blind.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and action checked to the original raiser, who bet 3,500. Both Powell and Dentale called.

The {a-Hearts} landed on the turn and Dentale led out for 8,000. The player in the lojack responded by going all in for 26,000 total. Powell folded and Dentale went deep into the tank.

"I guess you have ace-queen," Dentale mused. "You're never bluffing...I would hope you have ace-king of clubs."

Dentale eventually stuck his chips into the middle to indicate a call and his opponent turned over {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} for a turned set. Dentale revealed {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for two-pair.

A meaningless {9-Hearts} completed the board and Dentale was forced to surrender a large portion of his stack.
