Gutterball Number Two

Dustin Dirksen has done it again. After a player in early position raised to 300, he reraised to 1,100 from the cutoff. Only the early position player called.

The flop came down {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {4-Hearts}. The early position player fired out a bet of 500, or about 25% of the pot. Dirksen just called. The turn fell {10-Clubs}, bringing the fireworks. The early position player overbet the pot for 5,000. Dirksen raised to 11,000 before his opponent reraised all in to 19,000. Dirksen made an easy call holding {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}, the nut straight. His opponent had flopped a set of 4s with {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}, but the board did not pair when the river came {2-Clubs}.

Dirksen's opponent slowplayed to no pay and is out of the tournament. Dirksen himself now has 47,000 chips after rolling his second gutterball on the turn in ten minutes.
