A Won-durrrr-ful Life
Ship the triple up to Tom "durrrr" Dwan. Tom Dwan raised to 800 pre-flop and was called by a middle-position player and by the button. Dwan continued on a flop of , leading out for 1,175. The next player to act raised to 2,925. The button then flat-called that raise, prompting Dwan to ship in his whole stack, 7,575 total. The middle-position player tanked for about a minute and a half before announcing that he too was all in.
The brought the action back to the button, who called after about a minute. For the main pot, Dwan's set of nines, , was ahead of each of his other opponents' top pair. They both had unsuited ace-queen and wound up chopping the side pot after the board bricked out. Dwan collected all of the main pot to triple up to 25,800.
"That was probably a bad call but I figured he had the set, so..." said the button, referring to Dwan.
"You figured *I* had the set?" Dwan asked, a smile at the corner of his lips. He'd have no further chance to use that information, however, as the table broke immediately following the hand.
