Dwan Uses the "Dirty Diaper" to Crack Aces
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Tom Dwan was in early position and facing a bet of 8,000 on a flop of 3♥8♦5♠. He called and the turn came the 3♠.
Dwan again checked and his opponent, to Dwan's direct left, fired out another 20,000. Dwan looked over at him and paused for a moment before splashing in a raise.
His opponent quickly called all in for his last 60,000 and turned over A♣A♥. Dwan had 3♣2♣ for trips and the all-in player leapt from his seat to await his fate.
The river came the J♠ and Dwan won the pot and earned the knockout to climb up near 200,000.
