Durrrr-ceased

Tom Dwan's quest to destroy the poker economy is over for now. Two last hands did him in. First, he opened to 1,025 pre-flop from under the gun and was called in three spots. On a {6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{q-Hearts}, Dwan tried a continuation-bet for another 1,025. One player called. From there, the two checked it down to showdown, {4-Hearts} and {j-Hearts}. Dwan's opponent turned over {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, to which Dwan could only stare at the ceiling and muck.

The very next hand Dwan, sitting in the big blind, called a late-position player's raise to 1,100. The rest of Dwan's stack, about 2,000 in total, went into the middle on a flop of {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Dwan turned up {10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for top two pair, jacks and tens. He was up against {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, a six-outer draw. The turn was a blank {6-Diamonds}, but the river {9-Diamonds} ended Dwan's tournament by giving his opponent a straight.

Dwan stood up and started to walk away from the table. Then he turned back, ripped the button with a picture of Peter Jetten hugging a koala off of his chest and threw it down on his chair before exiting the floor.
