One For Dechant

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Action kicked off with a raise from the cutoff to 300. Three players called including bracelet winner Dieter Dechant in the big blind.

The flop was {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and all four players checked to see the {7-Clubs} on the turn. There action checked to Dechant, and he put out a bet of 500. That was enough to deter everyone else from calling, allowing him to take down the pot.

Last year, Dechant took down Event #19: $365 The Giant for $291,240 and his first World Series of Poker bracelet. Dechant works as a relief shift manager in a local poker room in Las Vegas and that allows him to play in this casino employee's event. Dechant is off to a good start here today.
