Denisov Denies Dempsey Dough

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We're not sure how Dempsey got short, as he started the day with a way above average. We are sure he's out though, as our World Poker Tour blog colleague told us.

Alexander Denisov opened with a raise to 2,600 from the cutoff, and James Dempsey defended his big blind with just 6,000 behind.

With a front push on {Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Dempsey made the stop and go move we saw all too often years ago, but has become a rarity in the modern poker era.

Denisov wasn't impressed, and made the call with {A-Spades}{8-Clubs} as soon as he found out the 6,000 Dempsey had put forward, was all there was. Dempsey turned over {K-Spades}{J-Spades} for two live cards and a gutshot.

The {A-Hearts} took away the kings and jacks as outs for Dempsey, and the {6-Spades} on the river wasn't going to cut it either. Dempsey eliminated, Denisov at about 80,000.
