Dwan Folds Sixth

Level 21

Razz

Tom Dwan bet out on fifth street only to have Jacobo Fernandez two-bet to 40,000. Dwan called, and was then faced with a bet on sixth street as both player's boards read as follows.

Dwan: (X)(X) / {7-}{Q-}{K-}{j-}
Fernandez: (X)(X) / {4-}{8-}{4-}{10-}

"It seems like you've had to pair your eights!" announced Dwan as he contemplated a decision on sixth street.

After roughly ninety seconds of deliberating, Dwan kicked his cards to the muck to relinquish the pot to Fernandez.

Durrrr Running Laps

Level 21
Tom Dwan
Tom Dwan

The buzz today at this $10,000 H.O.R.S.E event is all about Tom "durrrr" Dwan as he is a mere 12 eliminations away from his first World Series of Poker gold bracelet. And yet, even as he is this close to the glory of finally grabbing a bracelet, he is still registered for and playing in two events today.

Dwan is currently also registered for Event 40: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em / Six Handed. As of right now, he is letting his stack in Event #40 blind away over in the Pavilion while he chases WSOP fame in the Amazon Room. The rail is currently wrapped three people deep all of the way around the blue section of the Amazon Room, all eyes watching as Dwan attempts to defeat his final 12 competitors.

Level 21

Omaha-8

Matthew Ashton raised from the hijack seat and Jacobo Fernandez called from the cutoff seat. Tom Dwan also made the call from the big blind and the three players took the {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Spades} flop. Action was checked by Dwan and Ashton bet. Fernandez called and Dwan folded.

The turn was the {2-Clubs} and Ashton checked. Fernandez bet and Ashton called.

The river was the {A-Diamonds} and Ashton check-called again. Fernandez showed the {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{9-Clubs} and was scooped by Ashton's {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

Omaha-8

Andrey Zaichenko opened his button to 40,000 only to have Fu Wong three-bet to 60,000. Ram Vaswani capped it at 80,000 and Zaichenko made the call as Wong committed his final 72,000.

Vaswani led at the {4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop only to have Zaichenko two-bet as Vaswani called. The {4-Spades} on the turn saw Vaswani check-fold as the cards were tabled.

Wong: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Zaichenko: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades}

The river of the {4-Hearts} was enough to see Wong sent to the rail in 14th place as Zaichenko moves to 560,000 in chips.

Soulier Bluffs and Loses

Level 20

Hold'em

Fabrice Soulier opened with a cutoff raise only to have Matthew Ashton three-bet from the button. Soulier made the call before check-raising the {3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop with Ashton bet-calling.

The {K-Clubs} on the turn saw Soulier check-raise once again with Ashton making the call as the {j-Diamonds} landed on the river and Soulier led out for 30,000.

Soulier tabled his {J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, but it would be Ashton's {A-}{K-} that would claim the pot and move his stack to roughly 700,000 as Soulier slips to 510,000 in chips.
