Dwan Uses the "Dirty Diaper" to Crack Aces
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Tom Dwan was in early position and facing a bet of 8,000 on a flop of 3?8?5?. He called and the turn came the 3?.
Dwan again checked and his opponent, to Dwan's direct left, fired out another 20,000. Dwan looked over at him and paused for a moment before splashing in a raise.
His opponent quickly called all in for his last 60,000 and turned over A?A?. Dwan had 3?2? for trips and the all-in player leapt from his seat to await his fate.
The river came the J? and Dwan won the pot and earned the knockout to climb up near 200,000.
