Dwan Leads the Charge into the Final Day


Moving Day in Event #11 is in the books after ten busy levels of poker. This $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event drew a field of 2,563 runners, and just 297 of them returned today for Day 2. When the chip bags came out at 3:00 a.m., the big board showed 21 players have survived to see the final day dawn tomorrow.

It was a relatively smooth and uninteresting day of cards until Tom Dwan decided to come back from the 2-7 event on the far corner of the room and join us over here in the Red section. Dwan went to work quickly, punishing his table with his trademarked, ruthless style. The big turning point of the day came in a monstrous pot against Amnon Filippi when Dwan five-bet shoved his pocket tens into Filippi's two kings. A ten right on the flop gave Dwan the set and a massive chip lead, and he would not turn back from there. A few challengers came and went, but Dwan finished strong to bag up a chip leading stack of 1,068,000 million.

That puts him out in front of Marvin Rettenmaier and Scott Hamilton by about 100,000 chips, and all signs point to an exciting day of cards tomorrow. The dangerous Eric Ladny is still in the mix, and so is 2008 bracelet winner Jason Young, whose title came in a $1,500 NLHE event just like this one. Jacobo Fernandez, Alex Bolotin, and Antoine Amourette round out the list of notables who'll return on Sunday afternoon to play it out for the bracelet.

It figures to be a long day of poker as we have to play from 21 all the way down to just one. The twelve-hour rule is out the window, and the players will return at 2:30 p.m. for the fight to the finish. We'll be here too, and we hope you'll join us as we crown another champion here at the 2010 World Series of Poker.

Until then, goodnight from the Rio!

First is only 600k... That's like pennies for Dwan.

but i guess that might be the price to pay for poker brilliance

he has over $2mill in propbets for securing a bracelet i believe.

would be sick if he got it this early

Dwan still has about 10,000 chips in Event #14 right now too: http://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/2010-wsop/event-14/chips.htm

Hopefully he wins it, but pretty far to go.

i dont understand replies like this. 600k is 600k. Not to mention the millions in bracelet props he has out. Its like Phil Ivey says... "Even if you're going to play for a million dollars... if you see 10k on the street, you're gonna pick it up".

word up

He is playing both at the same time ?

multitabling

I don't get out of bed, or dare I say, bend over for less than 20k. I may ask the help to do it though. Now one of those fliers for the two hooker special for only $39 on the other hand.

I think he's just trying to double up or bust in #14, apparently he's running back and forth lol

What is his desktop setup ? or here, are the tables close ? I mean there are so many events, are there all in the same room ?

haha
so sick
take it durrrr

Dwan, who was also playing in the 2-7 event Saturday, built his chips in both events, running back and forth between the two. He told PokerNews early on Sunday that he was going to three-table that day. It would make more sense, however, for him to just focus on going after bracelet number one before trying to build a stack for number two.

lol?

im pretty sure dwan can figure out how to maximize his chances much better than whoever is reporting that

Dwan is so awesome. 3-tabling WSOP.

If it is his turn, while he is on another table, does the player call the clock ? do they wait a little for him ? Can someone familiar with multitabling in such tournament explain how he is doing it. Can he use a skateboard to go faster from a table to another ? :-)
I mean, I don't even know how it works for a table (never played live), so playing 2 or 3 tournaments at the same time...
