Dwan in Trouble Again

Tom Dwan's stack has been a bouncing yo-yo for the last two hours. It's falling to the floor again after a recent spot of trouble with Lee Markholt. Dwan opened pre-flop for 1,050 and was called by Markholt (in position) and the big blind. Dwan continued for 2,275 on a nine-high flop, {5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Only Markholt called.

Both players checked the {k-Hearts} turn. When the river fell a third club, {7-Clubs}, Dwan tried a bet of 4,850. Markholt tanked for more than a minute before finally calling with a pair of nines, {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Dwan showed an airball with {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} to fall to 6,000 in chips.
