Dwan Shoves on Trickett Before Break

RazorSharpPro

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Tom Dwan is back up over starting stack after winning a pot from Sam Trickett, all without a flop being dealt.

While we missed the opening salvo is was Trickett who was the initial aggressor, opening in the action with a raise from the cut off with Dwan re-raising from the big blind. The British player then three-bet and Dwan moved all-in for another 150,000 on top of what Trickett had bet.

The pot was a sizable 150,000 by the time we arrived, not including Dwan’s all-in, and Trickett was trying to crunch the numbers.

“I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do here,” said Trickett after tanking for a good few minutes, “at least in a tournament anyway.”

Trickett eventually folded and immediately started discussing the hand with Dwan and tablemate Daniel Cates, with the British pro stating he had ‘a good nine-high’.

The three were still discussing the merits of calling versus folding as we walked away, with Dwan climbing to 280,000 after the hand and Trickett dropping to 530,000 after that little misadventure.
