We just caught the tail end of the betting action, but Tom Dwan was all in after a flop of , and chip leader Antonio Paino put him to the test. With close to 150,000 chips in the middle of the table, the cards were on their backs:
Dwan: 
(second pair, flush draw, gusthot straight draw)
Paino: 
(top pair, gutshot straight draw)
The turn was the to improve Dwan to the king-high straight and put him one card from a double up. Paino needed to fill up or catch a jack to eliminate "durrrr", but the river was a safe blank, doubling the dangerous Dwan.
He's up to 145,000 now, and Paino is still doing just fine with his stack of 240,000.
With a raise to 3,200 from David Benyamine from under the gun and three callers, Tom Dwan decided to raise the pot which reduced the field by two as Benyamine and Tony Paino made the call.
They saw a flop of 
and Dwan led out with a bet of 50,000 which was enough to take it down.
Dwan is up to 175,000 with Benyamine at 148,000.
