Tom Dwan

Soon after busting Ivey, Dwan's table broke and he found himself at a new table with Dario Minieri. Pretty soon the two of them found themselves involved in another large pot.

On a flop of {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

, Dwan led out with a pot-sized bet, Minieri re-potted, Dwan responded in kind, and Minieri called with the rest of his chips.

Minieri had {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

for the made straight. Dwan had {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

{A-Spades}

for a lesser straight.

However, the turn {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

and river

{8-Spades}

gave Dwan the backdoor nut flush, and Minieri was out. Dwan is now up to 200,000.
