Tom "durrrr" Dwan raised to 4,100 from UTG. Then Nick Schulman -- winner of this same event in 2009 -- called from the cutoff. John Juanda next reraised to 16,500 from the button.
Dwan tanked for some time, then announced he was reraising all in, too. Both Schulman and Juanda skedaddled.
Dwan sorted through his cards for a moment, then showed the . The table erupted in laughter, perhaps expecting to see a more bluffy-looking card from durrrr.
Dwan now has 88,000. Schulman has 83,000, while Juanda has slipped to 42,000.
Yesterday Stephen Chidwick enjoyed the chip lead for several levels during the early evening. The story we heard was that Chidwick was fairly new to deuce-to-seven lowball, having received a quick tutelage in the game from his friend David "Bakes" Baker shortly before the start of play yesterday.
As it happens, those two drew seats beside each other today, although it appears their table is about to break. They are sitting to the left of Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, and the trio were just now laughing about a hand from yesterday in which Ferguson was dealt quad fours, made a small raise before the draw, then stood pat. (If you are curious, here's that hand.)
Chidwick continues to show he's a fast learner, sitting at present with 106,000. Meawhile Baker has 74,000 and Ferguson 28,500.
Peter Gould opened to 3,400 only to have Michael Mizrachi three-bet from the button to 8,500.
With the action on Nicholas Brancato in the big blind, he moved all in for his last 35,200.
Gould took his time before making the call as Mizrachi folded.
Drawing one, Brancato tabled his as Gould stood pat with his .
Needing a five or a three to stay alive, Brancato could only manage to squeeze out a as he made his way to the rail with Gould climbing to 108,000 in chips.
Prop bet time. This one took some negotiating, but Tom "durrrr" Dwan has successfully gotten both John Juanda and Chris Ferguson to agree to an unusual "double-must-win" bet.
For Dwan to win the bet, he must win this Event No. 19, and Huck Seed (recently eliminated here) must win the tournament that begins at 5 p.m. this afternoon, Event No. 21, the $1,500 buy-in Seven-Card Stud event.
The agreed upon odds were 800-to-1. Juanda is in for $2,000, while Ferguson is for $1,000. That would be $2.4 million for Dwan, should both he and Seed win their respective events.
