Action folded around to Erick Lindgren on the button and he raised to 30,000. Tom Dwan called from the small blind and Dario Alioto reraised all in for 200,000 from the big blind. Lindgren called and Dwan announced a reraise. Dwan reraised for 240,000 more and Lindgren made the call.

Dwan:

Alioto:

After the hand, Dwan was left with just 11,000 chips while Lindgren soared to approximately 1,100,000. After the hand Mike Matusow came over to console Dwan. "Don't worry durrr," he said, "if anybody can do it you can." "When I won 150,000 the other day, I typed 'I am durrr.'"

Dario Alioto was eliminated in tenth place and leaves with $34,700 to ease the pain.

Durrr Not Quite Dead

[user75032]

Tom "durrr" Dwan moved all in for the remainder of his stack. Tony G raised to 45,000 to isolate him. Each player drew one card. Dwan pulled a deuce to make 9-8-5-3-2. Tony G was drawing live with a 9-5-4-2 but pulled an ace.

Dwan is up to 25,000. Maybe Matusow was right...?

Tom Dwan Eliminated in 8th Place ($45,110)

[user75032]

Tom Dwan couldn't pull off the miracle comeback. David Benyamine raised to 30,000 and Dwan called all in. He stood pat with a Q-10; Benyamine drew one card and made a 10-7.

Dwan played admirably throughout the tournament, but one mis-timed raise may have cost him a shot at a deeper run. He leaves with $45,110.
