"It's Always The Stand-Up That Works"

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Scott Dehm
Scott Dehm

Action was picked up from when Scott Dehm was all in for his last 18,500 from middle position. He was called and covered by Kyle Grosshanten on the button.

Scott Dehm: A9All in
Kyle Grosshanten: AQ

Dehm was behind when the cards were flipped, and he stood from the table to watch the runout. Another player at the table said "It's always the stand-up that works", as Dehm picked up his bag and prepared himself to leave the tournament area.

He saw a nine in the window on the 729 flop which put him ahead. There was no change on the 4 turn or 3 river, and he locked up the double and was able to retake his seat. As he did so he said "Now I've wasted it!". Another player said "No it's better to be in now."

Grosshanten could afford to take the hit as he was still sitting with one of the commanding stacks at the table.
