Vicente Delgado and Thomas Dunwoodie are a beautiful personification of the clash between old school and new school.
Delgado is a Spanish online pro settled in the UK due to the ringfenced poker market in Spain. He's aggressive, calculated, always looking to make life difficult for his opponents.
Dunwoodie is a blissful bloke from Newcastle with years and years of experience from live tournaments. He's got tournament cashes from a decade or more ago, and he's seemingly having a blast playing live with his mates on the rail.
Despite these differences, they are both still in contention for the title at this partypokerLIVE Millions Main Event, and they just clashed in an interesting hand that Dunwoodie ultimately won.
Dunwoodie made it 1,5 million preflop and Delgado reraised once again to 4,5 million in position. Dunwoodie called.
The flop was 
, and both players checked before Dunwoodie fired 2,5 million on the 
turn. Delgado made the call.
Barely had the 
river hit the felt before Dunwoodie announced all-in. It took the dealer a minute and a half just to count up his 25,725,000 stack, all the while a focused Delgado tried to figure out what to make of the massive overbet.
Eventually, he let go of his hand, and Dunwoodie triumphantly turned over the 
and raised his hands in victory. The other card remains a mystery to this day.
