Dicken Does Work

Harold Kruger opened the pot from early position with a raise to 675. Next to him, David Dicken announced a reraise, splashing in two orange T1,000 chips. The table folded back around to Kruger, and he called the additional amount.

Heads up to the flop, the two men watched the dealer spread out {5-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {6-Spades}. Kruger passed, allowing Dicken to continue the betting with another 3,200 chips. Kruger elected to check-raise the minimum, making it another 3,200 to play. With no delay, Dicken moved all in with one big technicolor stack of chips. It was 9,575 to Kruger, and he went into the tank for a minute or two.

"The question is: Do I have a four-outer or a ten-outer?" Kruger wondered aloud. After considering for another minute, he made the call, putting Dicken at risk of elimination.

Showdown:
Kruger: {8-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}
Dicken: {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs}

It's a four-outer, Harold. Looking to dodge the gutterball seven, Dicken stood to watch the final two community cards. They were {5-Hearts} and {10-Clubs} respectively, safe for Dicken, and he earns a courtesy double up to 36,000.
