Dannenmann Flush With Chips

With 4,000 chips in the pot preflop, Steve Dannenmann and one opponent saw a flop of {J-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}. Dannenmann's opponent bet 1,000, a bet that Dannenmann quickly raised to 8,000, enough to put his opponent all in. After some thought, Dannenmann's opponent made the call.

He tabled {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs} and said, "I hope I have outs." Dannenmann opened {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}. "Oh great," his opponent said sarcastically.

"That's why I put you all in!" replied a laughing Dannenmann. The turn and river came {K-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} to make the nuts for Dannenmann and take out another player. He is now up to about 53,000.
