'durrrr' Tames 'The Bear,' Advances to the Round of 16

Tom 'durrrr' Dwan has just defeated Barry 'Bear' Greenstein to earn a spot in the Round of 16.

All of the money found its way into the middle on a board showing {3-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {9-Spades} and Greenstein had a slight lead, holding {A-?} {10-?} against Dwan's {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts}. Dwan stole the lead away from Greenstein on the turn when the {Q-Hearts} rolled off the deck and the river blanked, giving the checkmark to Dwan.

Should Phil Hellmuth win his match against Caesars qualifier Jeffrey Ishbia, Dwan and Hellmuth would face each other in an epic rematch a little later on this evening.
