Dwan Down

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

Nenad Medic has arrived, taking a seat right between Tom Dwan on his left and Bill Chen on his right. Medic has one WSOP bracelet and Chen two, while Dwan continues to seek his first.

"Bracelet bets this year?" Medic asked Dwan. "Not as many as last," came the reply, and Dwan proceeded to explain that he still has some two- and three-year bets ongoing. "Had a sweat yet?" asked Medic. "Fifth in the $10K H.O.R.S.E.," answered Dwan, referring to his final table appearance in Event No. 37. "Had 25% of the chips in play," he added, a what-might-have-been tone in his voice.

As Dwan spoke a hand was dealt in which a player raised from middle position to 525, and Dwan called from the big blind. The flop came {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, and Dwan bet the pot -- 1,125 -- leaving himself just a few chips behind. His opponent folded, and Dwan's quest for that first bracelet continues for now, though perhaps not for long as he sits with less than 2,000 and no add-ons left.
