Durrrr Done

Dwan; dusted
Dwan; dusted
Tom Dwan clearly didn't come here to sit on his 60,000-ish stack: being on the table right behind me, I can hear every time the dealer announces, "All in," and twice within the first 15 minutes it was because of Dwan raising all in... With that raise being around 50,000, that gave his opponents something to seriously consider, and while the first time that move won him a juicy pot, the second time he encountered resistance.

On a flop of {Q-Spades} {K-Hearts} {9-Spades} he'd moved in over the top of Scott Montgomery, who faced a further 53,500 to call - the pot had been raised by Montgomery preflop, bet on the flop, but it was still a large bet. He thought for a while, before calling with {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} ...

"Nice call," drawled a laconic Dwan, as he flipped the not-harmless {3-Spades} {4-Spades} . The turn and river bricked and Dwan, appearing, at least, supremely unconcerned, smiled and walked from his table.
