Dwan Makes Crying Call

With the board reading {8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} Tom "durrrr" Dwan agonised over a massive 20,000 chip call on the river. After going into the tank he finally makes the call and his opponent flips over {K-Spades}{9-Spades} for the flush.

Dwan tossed his into the muck to concede the hand but another player requested that Dwan's hand be shown. After some interesting discussion Dwan's cards are revealed by the dealer as {5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.
