"That's What it Takes to Win MSPTs"

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Charlie Dawson

Charlie Dawson opened to 3,800 on the button and both blinds called. The flop came {9-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, and everyone checked. On the {9-Spades} turn, the small blind checked, the big blind bet 2,000, and Dawson called. The small blind woke up with a check-raise to 9,000. The big blind quickly mucked, but Dawson said he was all in. The small blind called.

Small blind: {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Dawson: {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Both players had trips with kickers on board so they were chopping for the moment. Dawson binked the {7-Diamonds} on the river though.

"Nasty beat," he said.

"He hit a two-outer and now he hit a three-outer," someone said of the former champion. "That's what it takes to win MSPTs."
