Dinger Doesn't Like the Donk Jam

Written by Kyle M | Oct 11, 2025 2:35:59 AM

Andrew Dinger and Timothy Carroll just played a three-bet pot, which led to an all-in.

On blinds of 1,500/2,500/2,500, Timothy Carroll was facing an UTG limp and raised to 8,000 from the hijack. Andrew Dinger was in the cutoff and three-bet to 21,000. Action folded back around to Carroll and he called.

The flop came J♠8♦3♦. Carroll check-called Dinger's continuation of 16,000. 

The turn provided the A♣. Carroll stole the betting lead and went all-in as the covering stack. Dinger sat back in his chair and obviously didn't like the donk jam but said he couldn't fold.

"It must be a cooler," Dinger said as he called off for his tournament life. Dinger rolled over two pair and was shocked to see Carroll table JcTd.

Carroll: J♣T♦

The river only improved Dinger to a full house. Dinger got a full double up for 41,000 effective on the turn. Dinger is now sitting slightly above average stack with 53 players remaining.

Dinger: 133,000
