High-stakes crusher and poker icon Tom Dwan was unable to make it through Day 3 of the 2023 World Series of Poker Main Event, busting just before the dinner break.
Dwan entered the biggest Main Event ever on Day 2 and spun up his starting stack to 426,500 by the time the session ended. His table was selected for the live-streamed feature table on PokerGO, and he started today's action with his chip count heading in the right direction until a few pots didn't go his way.
On Level 13, with the blinds at 2,000/4,000/4,000, Dwan had a stack of 311,000 in front of him. He opened K?5? to 10,000 from early position and called when Brian Atchison three-bet to 25,000 with A?A?.
Rene Majed was heads-up on a board of 4?3?8?7? and already around 140,000 in the middle when he led out for 60,000 out of the big blind.
An opponent under the gun tanked for several minutes before he called to the J? river, where Majed slid forward a stack of chips to put him all in.
The big blind quickly folded and Majed, a German Twitch streamer, took down the pot just as the table was about to break.
