Dwan-tastic

With around 3,000 in the pot on the {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{A-Spades} board, Tom 'durrrr' Dwan fired out 1,850 when it was checked to him by three players.

One player in the small blind made it 3,700 to go, and once it was folded to Dwan, he made the call.

The turn landed the {3-Spades} and when faced with a 4,000-chip bet, Dwan pushed the action to 25,000 total. His opponent moved all in and Dwan double-fist-pump-snap called.

Dwan: {6-Spades}{5-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

With Dwan holding the nut-straight with a flush-draw, the meaningless {A-Hearts} would land on the river to see Dwan shipped the pot to move to 71,000 as his opponent took a long walk home.
