The “Sunday Grind” is a ritual for every poker player, but few do it like venividi1993 (Dirk Gerritse). In his latest high-stakes session, the Pot Limit Omaha legend proved once again why he is feared in the streets of Omaha Poker, pulling in a massive $40,000 victory in the CoinPoker Sunday Vulture and battling for a $48,000 top prize in the Sunday Eclipse.
This wasn’t just a session of “clicking buttons”. It was a masterclass in ICM pressure, range construction, and elite-level heads-up play against some of the best in the world.

🛠️ Tactical Breakdown: The BevyOfBlank Duel
The highlight of the session was the deep run in the $2,000 Sunday Vulture, where Dirk found himself heads-up against BevyOfBlank, a regular Dirk openly respects as one of the sharpest entities in the game.
- The Aggression Factor: Throughout the final table, Dirk utilized a high-pressure strategy, especially in 3-bet pots. He identified that opponents often over-fold on paired boards when faced with a “Pot” bet, allowing him to steal massive dead money with blockers rather than raw equity.
- The Hero Call: In a pivotal hand against BevyOfBlank, Dirk analyzed a river line where his opponent represented a narrow value range (sets and boats). By blocking the nut flush and recognizing the “polarized” nature of the bet, Dirk made a high-stakes call that swung the momentum of the match.
- The Win: Dirk eventually sealed the deal, pocketing the $40,000 first-place prize and proving that his edge on CoinPoker remains sky-high.

The Human Side: Japan, Family, and Liquidity
Between high-stakes bluffs, Dirk shared some rare insights into the life of a high-stakes pro. He discussed his upcoming family trip to Japan, a gesture of gratitude to his parents.
Dirk was remarkably candid about the financial realities of 2026, touching on “liquidity” and the choice to skip certain live festivals like Cyprus or Jeju. He noted that while he’s run poorly in some live spots, his investment portfolio and steady poker income allow him to maintain his lifestyle—proving that Bankroll Management is just as important as GTO knowledge.
📚 PLO Glossary: What Did He Say?
If you’re new to Dirk’s streams, the terminology can be dense. Here is a quick breakdown of the concepts he used to win:
- SPR (Stack-to-Pot Ratio): Dirk frequently mentioned this to decide whether to “stack off” on the flop. A low SPR means you are committed to the pot with much wider ranges.
- ICM (Independent Chip Model): This governs how Dirk played the final table. When pay jumps are $10k+, you have to “tighten up” against chip leaders but “punish” the middle stacks.
- Wrap: A massive straight draw in PLO that can have over dozen outs. Dirk loves “jamming” these on the flop to maximize fold equity + realization.
🏁 The Verdict: Still the Final Boss
