Smurfit Falls to Dwan

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Alan Smurfit potted in late position, and a player on the button called. Tom Dwan repotted in the small blind. Not intimidated, Smurfit hit the repot button too, making it another 35,000 or so to see a flop. The third player folded, and Dwan called. The flop was {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, and Dwan was instantly all in for 68,000. Smurfit, shaking hard, called almost as fast.

Dwan: {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades} for top pair and a gutshot
Smurfit: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for a pair of aces

The {5-Diamonds} turn put Dwan in the lead with two pair, and the {4-Hearts} river brought no help for Smurfit. His whole body shaking, Smurfit counted out his stack and discovered that Dwan had him covered. As he made his exit, durrrr stacked up 230,000.
