Tens Never Fail

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Bob Dillon declined to sing us a song but did have a nice hand to put him up over 60,000.

We didn’t see the pre-flop action, but a player from the button got it all in for about 10,000 with {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} against Dillon’s {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The flop was {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{K-Clubs} for no change in the standings, but the turn was {8-Spades} to give Dillon two outs for the win. At some point as all this unfolded, Dillon did announce that “tens haven’t failed me all day” and for drama’s sake, I’d like to think it was right before he spiked the {10-Spades} on the river and took down the hand.

The two players hugged it out and Dillon stacked his newly won chips to put his count just over 60,000.
