Dannenmann Gets Active

Steve Dannenmann open raises to 200 from mid position, and that begins a series of more raises and calls behind him. When the preflop action is complete, Dannenmann ends up being all in with {K-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} versus {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} and {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts}.

The board runs off {6-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {2-Spades}. The pocket eights hold up, and Dannenmann orders a double shot of rebuy chips.

A short time later, he finds himself involved in another all-in pot, this time heads up. The board shows {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {5-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}. Dannenmann flat calls a bet of 500 on the flop. It is checked to him on the turn, and he leads out with 1,500. His opponent check-raises him all in, and Dannenmann calls. He holds {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} and doubles up against the {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} of his table mate. After dragging that pot, Dannenmann is up to 14,000.
