You're not going to believe this story, but I can tell you it's true. While it wasn't Dylan, once I tell you how this guy played his hand, you'll understand why I think that maybe he was trained by Dylan.
It is still early in a deepstack texas holdem tourney. We're nine handed, and everybody is sitting at approximately 100 big bets. The play has been very conservative. The standard raise of 3 big blinds is enough to take down more than half the pots before the flop, and nobody is 3 betting..
Under the gun I pick up aces and raise to 3 BBs. It folds around to the donkey. He min raises, so I 3 bet 30 BBs. He calls instantly. The flop comes Q, 9, 3, rainbow. I bet about half the pot. He instantly calls, again. The turn is a king of spades, putting two spades on board--my aces are both red. I go all in, with just slightly more chips than me, and after going into the tank for what seemed to be an eternity. Eventually he says, "I can't imagine laying this one down." and calls. You'll never guess what he turns over? Two fours. I was shocked. I was half expecting the flush draw, but even if I had 10 guesses I wouldn't have put him on fours. Of course, this is a bad beat story, so you have already guessed what's coming next... Of course, the river was a four, and my dream of winning the tournament was destroyed.
