Turned Up the Heat — And Busted

Level 17: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

After Lam Long completed the small blind, Tomas Dedinas raised it up to 21,000 from the big blind and got a call.


The flop came 4 T 2, and Dedinas continued with a 16,000 bet. Long didn’t just call—he check-raised to 56,000, putting pressure on immediately.


When the 2 hit the turn, Long shoved all-in, ramping up the aggression. Dedinas, perhaps sensing a chance to catch a bluff, made the call.


The river K was no savior.


Long turned over T 7 for top pair on the flop, while Dedinas showed Q 4h—just bottom pair and a prayer. It wasn't enough.


When the pot was pushed across the table, Dedinas stood up and made his exit, undone by a bold line that didn’t pan out.

Dedinas Delivers Triple Queens to Knock Out Nghia

Level 13: 1,500 / 3,000 ante: 3,000

All the chips went in the middle with Tomas Dedinas holding A Q, and Le Bau Nghia, at risk, with A T.


The flop came T 7 Q, giving Nghia mid pair and some hope—but Dedinas had already taken the lead with top pair. The board completed with the 2 and a dramatic Q on the river, giving Dedinas trip queens and sealing Nghia’s fate, sending him to the rail.
