"So Dirty"

Level 21 : 80,000/160,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

Benny Glaser raised on the button and Michael Mizrachi defended big blind, but he came out firing and bet every street as {5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds} rolled off the deck. Glaser called down relatively quickly, although he did pause for a bit on the river.

"Pair of tens," Mizrachi announced, sending {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} into the middle.

"So dirty," Glaser said with a smirk.

"Yeah!" someone yelled from the rail. "Let the big dog eat."
