Jack-High the Nuts for Dwan

Wow. Must be nice to win $250k in one hand, and even nicer if you don't have to have a made hand or hit your draw to do it.

They were three-handed with about $80k in the middle by the time the turn hit. The board read {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. After a check, Tom Dwan bet. Without missing a beat, Wang Qiang moved all in. There was a quick fold, and then a loooong pause while durrrr thought about just how much he wanted to gamble. But this is durrrr we're talking about, so of course he did. He made the call with {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a naked flush draw. But turns out he didn't need another diamond. Qiang showed {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} with a nervous giggle. Qiang had 12 outs, but the {8-Spades} river wasn't one of them.

Dwan and Qiang were close in chips. Tom counted out his own stack and said he had $89,900. "The dealer will count," snapped Qiang. The dealer got the same number, then moved on to Qiang's stack. He only had $83,000, all of which went to Dwan.

It was under 30 seconds before Qiang had another $100,000 in front of him.
