Ken Dickenson bet out on a flop of {6-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

, and Tomas Alenius raised. Dickenson made the call. The turn brought the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

. Dickenson bet again, and this time Alenius just called.

The river was the {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

. Dickenson eyed Alenius, then checked. Alenius checked behind. Dickenson turned over {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

, while Alenius showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

for nines. Alenius is at 362,000, while Dickenson has 190,000.
