Dwan Busts in First No Limit Hold'em Hand

No-Limit Hold'em

This hand got off to an interesting start straightaway when the dealer mistakingly announced the blinds to be 50-100 rather than 25-50. There had been a call from a middle-position player and a raise to 425 from Dario Alioto before the error was spotted. A supervisor ruled that the hand would play out at the higher limit before going back down to 25-50 on the next hand.

After Alioto made his raise Dwan re-raised from the button, making it 1,150 to go. Alioto announced he was all in and Dwan quickly made the call.

Alioto: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Dwan: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Dwan was up and out of his seat before the flop of {a-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts} had arrived and had his personal items collected by the time the {k-Diamonds} sealed his fate on the turn. The river was a meaningless {a-Hearts} and Dwan was out the door.

According to Steve Wong who is seated over at Phil Ivey's table, Ivey and Dwan had a last-longer bet worth $100,000. If that's true and Ivey has now won the bet, he's on a ridiculous freeroll right now.
