Dempsey Dominating

James Dempsey has just won a large pot off the 2010 World Series of Poker Europe third-place finisher, Ronald Lee. It all started when Lee opened the pot to 400. Dempsey was on his direct left and three-bet to 1,125. A flurry of cards then hit the muck from every direction of the table until it was back on Lee. A four-bet to 2,500 didn't faze Dempsey as he flicked in the call.

On the {j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop, Lee led for 2,125 and Dempsey called. The {5-Spades} turn would see Lee again lead, this time for 3,500. Another call from Dempsey and the {8-Diamonds} would complete the board on the river.

This time Lee checked and Dempsey bet 7,500. Lee studied Dempsey for some time before eventually deciding to let go of his hand as Dempsey raked in the chips.
