Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

It was only a matter of time before Tom Dwan and Jeffrey Papola were involved in a big hand. We caught them in action after the flop with the board {6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. Papola bet 475 and Dwan called.

The {k-Hearts} fell on the turn. Dwan checked, Papola bet 1,100 and Dwan called. The river brought the {10-Diamonds}. Dwan checkedm Papola bet 3,600 and Dwan called. Papola turned over {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for the flush.

Two hands later Papola opened up action with a 250 raise and the player from the small blind reraised to 725. Dwan moved all in for his remaining 325 chips and Papola folded.

Dwan: {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

The board ran out {k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.
