Max Pescatori - 9th Place

Five players limped into the pot and took a flop of {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

.

The action is checked around to Tom "Durrrr" Dwan on the button who makes a bet of 3,700. It's folded to Max Pescatori who check-raises to 19,100 total. Dwan asks for a count and appears to be working out the math of his decision. Pescatori has around 25,000 behind, as Dwan lets out a sigh and casually declares he is all in. Pescatori calls and the cards are flipped:

Pescatori: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

Dwan:

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

Pescatori has a pair of queens, gutshot straight and the nut flush draw, but trails the set of deuces for Dwan.

The turn brings the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

and river

{6-Spades}

and Dwan's set holds to eliminate Pescatori from today's event for a collect of AU$10,320.
