Van Marcus Doubles Up

On a board showing {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

, with a heap of chips already in the pot, Tom "Durrrr" Dwan put Van Marcus to a decision for all of his chips with a hefty bet on the flop. Van wasted no time making the call and turned over {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

for two pair with a gut-shot straight draw. Dwan reluctantly flipped over {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

{6-Spades}

, realizing his chances of winning the pot were slim.

The turn brought the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

and at first Dwan thought it was a good card for him, until he realized Marcus had a flush draw as well - the nut flush, at that. The last card off the deck was the {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

which changed nothing and Van doubled through to about 65,000 in chips.
