Dirksen in a Gambling Mood
Big O
Prior to the hand, Dustin Dirksen and Men Nguyen both ordered a round of drinks. "This man is kicking my ass. Men the legend. I'm getting my ass kicked by a 70-year-old man. Let's gamble," Dirksen said as he potted and pushed forward a tower of red 5,000 chips.
"I drink Corona and play bad," Nguyen replied.
Octaviano Duran called all in for around 50,000 in early position and opened up A♠J♥7♠4♠2♠. Dirksen had A♦A♥8♠5♥3♥.
"I need one more spade," Duran said heading to the 5♠10♠4♦ flop, which gave him a flush draw.
"That's good for you," Dirksen said as the 7♦ fell on the turn. "That's really good for you," he continued.
The river came the 3♦ and Duran scooped the pot. "He gets all of it," Dirksen said as he handed over the entire pot.
The drinks arrived right after the hand and Dirksen and Nguyen toasted each other.
