Dirksen Chips Up; Valeo and Henson Survive
Badeucey
Ben Yu raised and Dustin Dirksen three-bet, Matthew Valeo called from one seat over on the button as Yu also came along. They all discarded two on the first draw and Yu checked, Dirksen bet and Valeo raised. Yu tank-folded and Dirksen called. Both discarded one and Dirksen check-called a bet.
On the final draw, Dirksen took one while Valeo patted and Dirksen then bet. Valeo sighed visibly and reluctantly called. Dirksen tabled the 3? / 8?6?4?2? and then added he already had the made eight-eight to catch a deuce eventually.
Valeo was left short and doubled through Ray Henson with a 7? / 6?5?3?2? when Henson's 6?3?2? draw hit the 4?6? on the final draw.
Last but not least, Henson doubled through Ari Engel when a patted 3? / 7?5?4?2? as of the second draw was good.
