Koonce Coolers Dirksen for Piles

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

We didn't see exactly how things went down, but Jason Koonce was doubling through Dustin Dirksen with the cards on their backs and {8-Spades}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades} on the felt. The players had played the pot from the first two positions, Dirksen having turned a straight with {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and Koonce having hit the nuts with {k-Spades}{q-Spades}. Dirksen sent over a double for all but 130,000.

"That was unlucky," someone said.

"Yeah, it was, but I got lucky earlier," Dirksen said. "I mean, I didn't have to three-bet."
