Attention players feverishly refreshing our coverage on your iPhones/iPads while you play in the $10k H.O.R.S.E. Championship. You can all relax. durrrr bracelet watch (which was pretty premature anyway) lasted under an hour. Tom Dwan went from a big stack to out in three easy steps:

1) Alex Barlow raised to 1,900 on the button. Dwan raised his small blind to 5,600 and Barlow four-bet to 11,800. Dwan shoved, and Barlow snapped with {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}. When you have a decent pocket pair and Tom Dwan five-bet shoves on you from the blinds, you're supposed to be way good. But in this case, Barlow was way behind Dwan's {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}. The {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop had Barlow hoping for a heart to save him, but he didn't need it after the {j-Diamonds} came on the turn. The river was the {3-Clubs}, and Barlow doubled to 66,000. Dwan fell to 36,000.

2) Jason Gray got it all in with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} against Dwan's {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}. A short stack was also all in for 7,000 with {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. The board came out {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{8-Spades}, and Jason Gray took the 75,500-chip pot. Dwan, on the other hand, was crippled to 2,000.

3) Dwan got his last chips in with {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} but couldn't hold against {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Now he can run back to the $10k H.O.R.S.E. and work on making his bracelet bettors sweat over there.
