Double-Up Dwan

Tom Dwan was all in for 15,700 and at risk of being cut down before the flop against a single opponent. He held {Q-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} and was in trouble versus the {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts} of his opponent.

The board ran out lucky for Dwan though. It came out {6-Clubs} {6-Spades} {4-Spades} {K-Hearts} {3-Hearts}, making him the winning straight on the river. With the win, he doubles his way up to 34,000.
