Some Creativity

From early position, Jimmy Dahlquist limped into the pot . . . which is often an ominous sign. Limping from early position? Hmm. The limping came to an end when a player in late position raised to 2,000 and the big blind popped it up to 7K.

That's when Dahlquist came over the top of them all with a 12K re-raise. In nature, this kind of behavior normally signifies "I HAVE ACES." The late position player folded his tent but the big blind chose to call.

The flop came 8-7-8, the big blind moved all-in for his last 20K, and Dahlquist called. The big blind turned over pocket Queens, and Dahlquist turned over Ace...Eight. That most fortuitous flop gave Dahlquist trips and the pot, which put him up to 88,000 in chips.
